Bug Description

To reproduce, enter a summary on +filebug and continue. At that point you'll be presented a list of bugs that may be the one you're reporting. They all have a 'view this bug' link, which points to the bug's page, but if you Ctrl-click (to open on another tab) on them, nothing happens. This is on firefox 3.0.12

Fixing bug 402147 would probably fix this bug.

Just confirming that I'm seeing this as well. If I right-click and select "Open in new Tab" from the dropdown, then it opens properly. But my standard action of "Preview by Ctrl Left-Click" and then close the tab to come back does not work.

I *think* that clicking the link and then selecting "Back" will do the right thing, but I default to opening a new tab in case the state of the current post (namely the summary header I just typed) would be lost. It also leaves a tab open so that I don't forget I was filing a bug, after I've gone off and read the content of several other (but not actually duplicate) bugs.
