If you click on a link that has "target=_blank" mozilla seems to do some network stuff before opening the window. If you click on the link mozilla will show "connecting to", "sending request to", etc.. in the status bar of the current window before opening the new window. Try going to: http://gemal.dk/help/devtools.html and click on the www.allaire.com link and watch the status bar All kinds of "connecting to", "sending request to"... before the new window is opened.

I also see this on BeOS, build 2001021912. Additionally, the link is sometimes *indeed* opened in the wrong (current) window. I experienced this behaviour when having 2 windows open, where one was connecting to a server and so was busy. Then, from the first, 'ready' window, I selected "Mozilla->Go to Bugzilla" from the statusbar, and the link was opened in the second, busy window! So Mozilla seems sometimes to "re-use" windows that are not finished when opening links...

this happens for me with 2001031204 on WinNT4
still seeing this as of 2001031821 (linux .tar.gz nightly build). for me the behaviour is slightly different: after clicking on link, new window opens, but its throbber and statusbar do not change. in old window, throbber and statusbar reflect everything that should be in new window :)
I saw this last night and it definitely sucks. We need to get this back in 0.9/0.91 time frame. The real problem is the progresslistener is not being connected correctly to the new window and AFAIK this happens in the URILoader. To mscott

This should be fixed. The patch attached to bug #65777 causes window targeting to occur before the URI is loaded. Therefore all status/progress messages will go to the target window, not the originating window.

build 20010515 works just fine with fine. status text is in the correct window.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
I noticed a problem with mozilla when i clicked on a link(where target= _blank is used) to launch a window. As soon as i clicked on the link a new window is spawned but the URL is not loaded immediately.Hence, if i minimize the opened blank window and open any other page the intended page (which was supposed to be opened on the blank window) opens on the most recently closed page.If i keep the cursor on the Blank window which was spawned then the intended page opens on the blank window as desired.
