i am on windows 2000 pro all windows patches installed
I'm surprised if this bug isn't a duplicate, since I've noticed this behaviour
since older versions. Here is an example page:
http://mrpoll.com/threads.m?poll_id=947910408 Try a Ctrl-click on any link in
the "messages" section. It seems to be caused by this javascript:
http://mrpoll.com/table_list.js There are more websites with this problem --
I'll try to jot down the URLs next time. OS should be "all" (cmd-click for Macs).

This happents because of a setting in Options. If the setting under tab settings
called "Open links in the background" is checked then this occurs, if un check
this setting then it will not occur.
