SUMMARY

When I open a link from one webpage to show it in next tab with mouse middle click, I encounter three issues: (a) no url in the url bar, (b) the webpage is not shown, and (c) zoom to DPI is not applied, even though zoom to DPI is enabled. Note that (b) and (c) are exclusive.

It's important to note that these issues do not happen in all links, but it happens frequently. My impression is that it happens in about 70-80% links.

These bugs happen only on webengine, not in webkit.

A workaround for (a) is to use "right click -> open in new tab"
A workaround for (b) and (c) is to switch to webkit and back again to webengine, and then webengine renders the webpage correctly, showing it (b), and applying the proper setting zoom to DPI.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I compiled konqueror to its latest git version, but it did not fix the issues.

I cannot reproduce (a) and (b) anymore. I could reproduce (c) until recently but I changed my settings increasing fontsize and keeping DPI to 96 so (c) is not an issue anymore even though the bug is likely to be there yet.
