30834 - URL opened in new window says in location bar of old window

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Tracking, defect, P3)

Description

[BATi]

URL of clicked anchor (say target="new", or unknouwn mimetype) which opens new
window, is present in old window, so for example bookmarking old window writes
"new" URL to bookmark, or when displaying more pages this way, going back in
history of old window reviews URLs, which were opened in a new window.
To reproduce:
1) in window #1 open a page with download or target="new" links
2) click on said link
3) window #2 will open, displaying URL clicked on in window #1, but window #1's
location is overwriten with window #2 URL

This problem still exists in M15 (!), however it is fixed in the M16 nightlies
starting with 4/16 (probably together with the fix of bug 33870 
"URL bar shows the wrong url after changing pages by links or bookmarks").

Marking FIXED (tested on PC/Linux, build 2000041816-M16).
