1. Create two windows 2. In the non-frontmost window, command click on a link. Actual: The new tab opens in the frontmost window. Expected: The new tab should open in the same window the command click occurred. Note: Also happens when command clicking on bookmarks in the Bookmarks bar.

FWIW, this was recently mentioned somewhere (macosxhints.com?) as a useful feature. Also, I'm not sure if this is a WebKit issue - sounds more related to Safari.

You're right, it was mentioned on macosxhints. Here is the article:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20061027030208781
Most responses on that page think this is a bug, not feature.

Yes, I've confirmed this is a bug in Safari. It's not a bug in WebKit. So it only needs to be in Radar, not in bugs.webkit.org. And it is already in Radar although I don't have the bug number handy. Closing as INVALID since we don't host bug reports for Safari here.
