New issue 17650 by CarpeDiemFX: Right click on link --> open new tab no  
longer opens a background tab
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17650

Chrome Version       : 3.0.195.1
URLs (if applicable) : ALL


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Right click on any link
2. Click "open in a new tab"
3. chrome auto focuses onto the new tab, instead of opening into the
background

What is the expected result?
All previous version of chrome opened new tabs in the background through
this method (right click menu).

What happens instead?
This new version autofocuses on this tab. I believe this should not be the
default setting. Middleclicking is not an option for some people as they do
not have the mouse wheel button (or is assigned to voice command/other
functions). Ctrl-click requires use of keyboard. At least having the option
to switch back or having the previous default of opening in a background
tab is MUCH more convenient. Especially when you want to open multiple
links on one page, you don't have to keep refocusing on the old tab.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
