Summary Tab Focus Changing When Following Link

Hi, I'm noting some odd behaviour with the Nightly Build of WebKit (downloaded 22nd March and reported as Version 2.0.3 (417.9.2)) when following links with multiple tabs open. At the present time I have 4 tabs open (plus the one being used to write this) in Safari in the following order: 1. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=188346&page=4 2. feed://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/recent.rss 3. http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/ 4. http://webkit.opendarwin.org/quality/reporting.html What I am noticing is that when I follow a link from the BBC site (such as following the link to view the listing for BBC1 at the bottom of the page with the URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/) the link is opened in the tab but my focus is changed to another tab. In my specific example, selecting to view the television listing for BBC1 results in my focus being moved to the next tab that I have open, in this case the WebKit Bug Reporting tab. This behaviour does not happen with all tabs/links and does appear to be very difficult to replicate. To be honest, I thought I was going nuts the first time that it happened but I seem able to consistently replicate this problem in the 3rd tab when using the BBC's page and any link on it. Best of luck.
