Select "Block Pop-Up Windows" under the "Edit" menu; make sure it is checked.
Go to http://svn.openqa.org/fisheye/browse/~raw,r=1769/selenium/trunk/src/main/resources/tests/html/test_select_window.html and click on "Click here to open a pop-up window".  A pop-up window will open.  Uncheck "Block Pop-Up Windows" and click on the button again.  A pop-up window will open.

Using WebKit-r23922 built 02 July 2007 on Windows XP SP2.

Ordinarily I would have guessed that this isn't really a WebKit bug, but this seems to behave differently from the stock Safari 3.0.2 Beta for Windows.  (Again that's the official WebKit-r23922 built 02 July 2007 on Windows XP SP2.)

Specifically, in that case, I find that when I save the file to disk and access it from the hard drive, pop-ups are always blocked, even when I uncheck "Block Pop-Up Windows".  WebKit-r23922 seemed to be more consistent by never blocking pop-ups.  Regardless, this caught my interest enough to make me want to file a bug.

The pop-up in the test case should not be blocked since it is opened by the user.

d'oh!  I've confirmed on the same build that pop-ups spawned during onload are caught.
