Description Erik Moeller 2013-07-09 05:52:09 UTC
The interaction with links in the Echo flyout is somewhat erratic, presumably due to the interaction between JavaScript-fired events and the regular links.

Most notably, loading a link in a background tab doesn't always work consistently. In Chrome/Ubuntu, opening any link via middle-click loads it in a background tab as well as in the current foreground tab. This does not happen when using right-click. Ignatzmice is reporting the same behavior when CMD-clicking on a Mac:

I'm pretty sure this is the same issue as in bug 52319, which has a patch pending (or even two).
