Satoshi,
I think when you click the link the initial window is erased. Make sure you
check the parent window before you close the child to make sure the content
is still there. My understanding is that since we have clicked a link shoes
expects us to actaully go somewhere and it is clearing the page in
anticipation of that. The new_window method can end with a visit "/"
statement. And that takes care of the blankness. I too found this behavior
a bit surprising initially. Perhaps shoes shouldn't wipe the page when
visiting a link that creates a new window, but this behavior doesn't really
bother me. The fact that I have to make strange gyrations in order to do
something as fundamental as share code seems more concerning.
