Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 19355 by william.furr: Google Reader "View Original" shortcut should open in background, not foreground http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=19355
Chrome Version : 2.0.172.39 URLs (if applicable) : http://www.google.com/reader/view/ Other browsers tested: Firefox 3.5.2, IE 8 Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari 4: Firefox 3.x: OK* IE 7: IE 8: OK* What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. View an item in Google Reader 2. Press the "v" keyboard shortcut 3. What is the expected result? I would like to be able to have the diverted popup window open in a background tab, not a foreground tab. What happens instead? The new window opens in a foreground tab. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible. I don't know that this is a defect per se, but I would like to be able to change this behavior. I prefer to be able to open background tabs while scanning my feeds, and then go back and view the items I had opened. In both IE 8 and Firefox 3.5, the default behavior isn't to my liking either, but I was able to change it in both places. In IE 8, the default behavior is to open a new window for the Google Reader popups. I was able to change that in the options by setting popups to go to new tabs instead of new windows. After changing the setting, the "view original" shortcut opens into a new tab that loads in the background. In Firefox 3.5, the default behavior is to open a new foreground tab for the Google Reader popups. I was able to change that by setting browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true in about:config. The "secret handshake" method isn't ideal, but acceptable. What I don't like is not even being able to change the behavior if I want to. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
