Description Yohanes Pancaran 2009-02-03 03:10:25 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #182807 +++

Version:           1.4.0 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-11-generic

- open akregator
- open an article in a new tab
- switch to tab
- middle click on a link in the tab

For me, regardless of settings, the final step will always open the link in the current tab. I set middle click to &quot;open in background&quot; tab in settings and it doesn't make any difference. Using &quot;open in external browser&quot; has the same problem; it still opens in the current tab. Configuring left-click has the same problem.

Are there any workarounds for this? This really interrupts my daily news reading sessions. :-(

Assigning to correct product.

Duplicate report after reassigning, not sure why cloned.
