Link doesn't open in new tab is target is _self

[Arturo Torres Sánchez]

Link targets work when the user just clicks on the link and the application is supposed to know what to do. But if a user makes middle-click (new tab), or right click (menu with link options) that decision should be respected.

If a link is set to _self, a normal click will open the link in the same tab/frame, as expected. But if the user makes middle-click, the link still opens in the same tab instead of a new one.

can you please testwith following testcase if you can reproduce an issue?

I cant reproduce with midori 0.4.3 and Webkit 1.6.1 here.

[Arturo Torres Sánchez (r2d2.art2005)]

That link seems to work. However, my original link is still broken, so
there must be something else causing it.
The link I'm talking about is inside a course in Blackboard 9.

I believe its not a bug, but a designed behavoir of this javascript code. There is bunch of js ways which preventing opening pages in a new tab, like onclick page load.

I believe we can close this bug as invalid as i dont see any ways in which midori can stop this.

[Arturo Torres Sánchez (r2d2.art2005)]

You may close it, but it's still weird that this only happens in Midori,
but in Chrome or Firefox it works fine.
