Description nobody 2009-03-30 08:20:12 PDT 
On many (but not all) websites, command-click no longer opens links in new tab.

example- command-click does not work: www.politico.com, many others.

example- command-click still works: www.drudgereport.com

previously, command-click correctly opened links in new tab on all websites.

first noticed in r42075 build.

could not repeat problem
Comment 2 nobody 2009-03-30 14:26:14 PDT 
found repeatable example here:

www.roadrunner.com/blabbermouth

command-click on link for any news item (i.e. command-click on article title or on "Read")

Safari beta 4 - link correctly opens in new tab.

Webkit r42075 - link opens in current window (or current tab)
