On a webpage I right click a link and choose "open link in new tab".  It loads in the background.  I click in the location bar search box, enter my search criteria, and then hit enter.  Instead of loading the search results it opens the webpage from the link that I right clicked to open in a new tab.  If I do the same sequence, but instead of hitting enter after entering the search criteria I click on the magnifying glass it displays the correct search page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  New tabs open in the background
2.  Right click a link and choose "open link in new tab"
3.  Click in the location bar search box
4.  Enter search criteria
5.  Hit enter
Actual Results:  
Webpage from link that was right clicked on to load in new tab is displayed in the current tab.

Expected Results:  
Display the search results.
