New issue 17975 by richmartel: Tab focus is lost when opening a link into a
new tab
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17975
Chrome Version : 3.0.195.x
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 4:
Firefox 3.x:
IE 7:
IE 8:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.
What is the expected result?
Focus to stay on the page I am currently reading, all links that I open
into new tabs should not steal focus.
What happens instead?
Each link I open gains focus. This did not happen in previous versions of
Chrome.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
There was a change in a recent version of the dev version that affected the
way tab focus is handled when opening links from other pages. If this was
an intended change, can I make a request to add an option to select the
method for focus change? I find it EXTREMELY disruptive to keep losing
focus as I'm opening links into new tabs. I have to keep clicking back to
the original page.
