New issue 20687 by Dylan.DataWizard: Opening Link in New Tab should Give
Focus to New Tab
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20687
Chrome Version : 4.0.202.0
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 4:
Firefox 3.x:
IE 7:
IE 8:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Right Click a Link on a Page
2. Choose "Open Link in New Tab"
What is the expected result?
I'm probably opening this link in a new tab because I want to continue
exploring this site without losing what's in this current tab. So in order
for
a smooth browsing experience I'd expect the new tab that was just created
to get focus.
What happens instead?
The tab opens in the background, meaning now I have to click that tab,
which isn't THAT huge of an inconvenience, but Chrome is all about
convenience and simplicity, right? I mean, I suppose I may want to open it
in the back ground to look at later I suppose, but much more likely I'm
wanting to branch out my browsing to a new part of the site, and want to
automatically go to the new tab instead of staying on the old one.
I'm sorry if this isn't a significant enough issue to be posted here or if I
posted it wrong. It's just that I figured if I never said anything nothing
would ever be done.
