Comment 8 for bug 355301

...but it still switches to the newly-created tab, making it truly painful to open a batch of links within an article.

Given my opinion of web-based applications (both performance and convenience-wise), It's really an embarassment to KDE that I've more or less dumped KMail and aKregator for GMail and Google Reader. (It means that, despite Firefox being slow and Konqueror 4.x being a pain to work with, it's not as painful as the native options)

Let's hope that, by the time KDE 5.x rolls around, there will be a GUI behaviours regression test suite to prevent a recurrence of these problems.
