Version: 0.2.90 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6", openSUSE 11.2) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop If you want to open a page in a new tab, you can middle-click on a link, as in every browser this works in rekonq too, the problem is, that quite some time now rekonq freezes for a short time if you do so (like 5 seconds) after that the new tab opens and everythings fine. If you use right-click -> open in new tab you dont have this problem, it only occurs if you middle-click a link.
