Description gabriele monfardini 2009-04-09 11:19:40 UTC

Version:           1.4.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-14-generic

I usually have a look at the list of the summaries of a feed and open the interesting ones in new tabs.

There is no feedback that my clicks has been received, no moving part, nor an empty tabs that will be filled.
Moreover when a new tab appear it steals the focus from the current tab.

The results, expecially from slow sites, is that I click on several posts, begin reading one of them and randomly a new tab appears and I've to switch back to my current.
At the end I've to check that all the link I clicked has been indeed opened.

I would like to click on several link, to be confirmed that the click has been queued (e.g. opening immediately a new tab with "Loading" as in Konqueror), but without my current tab losing the focus. That is exactly how my Konqueror is configured

The "open in Background Tab" under Settings > Configure Akregator > Browser > Left Mouse Click solves my issue of opening tab in the background.

The only issue that remains is that there is no visual feedback of a received click, that expecially on slow sites would be useful (the background tab may take a lot to appear and user may have opened several of them).

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of akregator (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

When you click on a link there is no moving parts even in 5.x but a border appears around the link.
If network is slow new tabs still take several seconds to appear.
So now it's a little annoyance, no more a real bug

Gabriele, I changed the title of the bug, but in my opinion, it is still valid. Because of your reply to some other bug, I assume that you tested this with 5.1.3. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Denis, correct. Version 5.1.3
