Links opened with middle click are not colored as visited links

[Geek87]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Hi,
When you click with the middle button of your mouse on a link to open it in a new tab, the color of this link doesn't change to show that it has been visited whereas it works as expected with left click. (The browser doesn't remember visited links between sessions but a bug report has already been open for this).

Ask me for further information.
Bye!

right, this issue is reproducible here too.. let me check if I can find something in upstream.

It is somewhat half broken.

If i use midle click or Ctrl+click the page opens in a new tab. The link on the current page doesn't change color to visited. But the link color in the new tab does (go back in the new tab).

Next step is to report upstream (I don't have time to do this now):

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
