After I had made some changes on my wiki page, I middle clicked a link in the wiki to an external site. Afterwards, I hit crtl +r to reload the page, after which rekonq reminded me that I had just done a form submit, and that reloading would post the changes again. So I went up to the URL bar to manually go to the URL again, but I saw the URL of the link I had middle-clicked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-Go to any page with a link to another website
-Middle click the URL

Actual Results:  
The URL opens in another tab, but the url bar text of the current tab is changed to the URL of the new one.

Expected Results:  
The link should be opened in the new tab, while preserving the URL bar text of the current tab.
