LittlePaws, I am not sure, but maybe there is a popup blocker or popup killer closing it. But you said it's working "manually". Is the window opening the one you expect to see? Is your application supposed to open a new window from a link or a new tab? That could depend on the link, or the settings in your browser. I wish that I could shed more light on it. Maybe you can give more information, such as the source of the app under test.
Did you try the right click functions?
