Re: Cursor Position After Launching a New Tab
David E. Ross: The default when opening a new tab by middle-clicking on a link is to place the new tab in the background, leaving the focus on the old tab. This is controlled by the preference variable browser.tabs.loadInBackground, which has the default value True. Or by Preferences-Browser-Tabbed Browsing [x] Switch to new tabs opened from links That is how my configuration is setup. Not mine, but i have now set it. In my test, I did not search on the new tab. I did not even select the new tab. Focus remained on the old tab. Have done so. My question is whether, in this case, the position for searching on the old tab should be where the last search stopped That is what happens on my SM 2.13a1 and what i would expect... or where I middle-clicked (where in the view window the last mouse action occurred). ...why should middle-clicking set a new position for searching? After opening the new tab with the middle-click 'rancho' is still selected and a new search should start there.

Re: Cursor Position After Launching a New Tab
David E. Ross: Having clicked on the copyright symbol in step #3 (albeit a middle-click), should not the cursor position for starting the next search be at that symbol? Instead, it seems that the cursor position remained at Rancho so that the search in step #4 continued from there. Yes. Is this a bug? Or is this intentional? Opening a new tab will set the position for searching on this new tab to the top of this new tab. The position for searching on the old tab will not be affected. And this is a good thing. :) Hartmut ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
