15.0.2.0: opens links in new tab instead of new window

Post by xkpq@cuvox.de »

15.0.2.0 opens links in a new tab (wrong) instead of a new window (which is correct). The previous version worked fine. "open all popups in new tab" is off.

Can you clarify if this is a random link on a webpage, or a link within another program, or a Slimjet bookmark?

It is a link from a web based app at my company. Normally I want a "new window" with every click, but now it opens in a new tab. Very annoying because the new windows can resize themselves as needed. In a new tab, that is not possible.

I've looked closely and I'm not sure if their is a setting to affect this, but you can mash down the Shift key at the same time you left click which will open it in a new window, or you can right click and select the new window

I know this workaround, but I would like to know why SJ has started to behave differently compared to IE, FF and Chrome 60.0.3112.90

Even with a fresh installation on a fresh machine I have no luck. I even tried "allow all pop-ups". :cry:

This bug still exists in 15.1.0.0 ... fresh installation with fresh user profile.
