Thank you. Got that. It was a matter of interpretation. I did not
understand what that would do. It works the way I like it now.
Looks like we need to improve on the wording of "Switch to new tabs
opened from links."
Can you suggest how we can make this clearer and less ambiguous?
When you ask for this advice I am also aware that someone else might
interpret differently from me and end up with the same problem.
My own view might be: "Open new tabs on top"
I would have interpreted this as the new tab taking the focus. Whether
referring to the focus would work I am not sure; it depends upon how
well users understand windowing and Z-order.
Unfortunately, people interpret on the basis of their culture; their
education and their experience so different people will respond best to
different phrases. This is why it will not be easy to find a brief
phrase that will be understood by everyone.
