Pages are always loading in the same tab.

I have no idea how to even articulate this.

Okay so you know how many pages have links that are all like <target="blank"> and they always open in a new tab? Facebook for instance. Click any link and the link opens in a new tab.

Yeah so 11.51 ain't doing that.

I leftclick on anything, even links that are all <target="blank"> (or however the markup goes, I haven't done any html in years) always, invariably open in the same tab, forcing me to click basically every link with either the middle or rightclick + down gesture.

How do I fix this? I went into Settings > Prefs > Advanced > Tabs and unchecked "reuse current tab" but that didn't seem to fix the issue.

What gives?

Did you make sure that Single Window Browsing in opera:config is unchecked?

That's not a thing I would have ever thought to look at.

But no, that box is not checked.

Hmmm...I can't reproduce such behaviour, but other people seem to experience the same problem.

So, nothin'? Is this a case of "uninstall browser, try try again?"
