Somehow we're overriding default browser behavior and open links clicked with middle mouse button dynamically in the same tab just as if they were clicked with left mouse button.
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Mingle card https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/mobile/cards/1761
In theory you should be able to do this with if ( ev.button === 0 ) { ev.preventDefault(); // hijack link } This doesn't seem to work with a Mac trackpad though :-/
I think this is a problem related with lazyload (stable and beta works fine). I don't know the roadmap, but Kaldari posted in this comment: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/142317/ That lazyload does not move to beta or stable? What we do with this bug?
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/155455 renders this to be no longer relevant.
