Bug Description
Go to a site with a link, click on a link while you are pressing ctrl: the page changes to the new page you want to go to, but you can't scroll it and you can't click links. If you open tabs you see there is a new tab open in the background.
Switch from a tab to another and eventually all goes ok.
My opinion here is the new tab is opened in background, but its render is overlying the current page.
I didn't think oxide is relevant here, because it opens the tab in background, it's only a wrong management by webbrowser.
I found this while I was testing lp:~uriboni/webbrowser-app/keyboard-navigation, but it's present also in trunk, and we need to fix for convergence

Re-targetted at oxide. The browser does open the link in a background tab, but oxide incorrectly renders the new background view on top of the current one.
