Public bug reported:
1) Visit http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_open_link_in_new_window.cfm
(just a site that has a target="_blank" example link)
2) Click the "HTML Tags" link in the "Example" area
3) Note where the keyboard focus after the new tab is opened
It should be on the page, which lets the user press up, down, page up,
page down, etc.
Instead, its in the address bar. Which (A) is pointless since we just
went to this page, we're unlikely to want to suddenly navigate elsewhere
and (B) is actively annoying, since I can't see the URL of this new tab.
