SM 2.9.1 on XP SP3.

Center-clicking on a link opens a new tab, as it should. However, the
new tab is "behind" the previous tab, and requires pointing and
clicking on the tab to display it.

In SM 2.8, before upgrading, the new tab opened "in front" and was
immediately readable.

I must have changed some preference, but can't figure out which one.
Can anyone help? I'd be very appreciative!

Try:

1. Open Preferences via "Edit>Preferences..."
2. Navigate to "Browser>Tabbed Browsing" and enable "Switch to new
tabs
when opened from links" checkbox

Good suggestion, but no joy -- it was already checked.
Thanks for helping, though!

hmm, it worked on my SM 2.9. Perhaps you have an add-on that may be
conflicting with this behavior? Try "Help>Restart with add-ons disabled"
and see what happens.

That did it! (Add-ons disabled.) Now to figure out which one.

Thank you for helping!

Good luck and let us know which add-on it was afterward.

Now I'm totally confused! The problem resolved with Add-ons disabled, but when, for other reasons, I restarted SM without testing individual add-ons (and add-ons thus reset to "enabled"), guess what? Now the tab behavior is what I wanted, and what Preferences would lead me to expect.

Never will understand this stuff!

Thank you for your advice. Maybe just starting to do something intimidated the program into behaving! LOL. You are good!
