Speed Dial New Tab Behaviour

I hope this is not an intentional change.

If "reuse current tab" is not checked, clicking on a speed dial now opens a new tab. I guarantee that this is going to upset a lot of users if it is not reverted to the previous behaviour.

Should Speed Dials Open in a new Tab?

Please revert this. Very annoying indeed.

Strictly speaking this behaviour is consistent I guess...

I don't think this is intentional. Report a bug.

(If nothing else stated the most current weekly) on a nice Dell Studio XPS 16!

If you just opened a new tab, it should never open a speed dial in another new tab. If you have one of those buttons to display the speed dial page in a tab that has a (back) history, then it might make sense to open in a new tab ... and I can see that some people might want it to open a new tab when Speed dial is the only (or first) open tab. (I wouldn't, but I have set "Reuse current tab" so it won't happen anyway.)

I thought it is a bug but still hope it is.

Ctrl-T (or File > New Tab) ; normal speed dial page shows up ; click on any bookmark there ; the clicked page opens in a new tab, leaving the speed dial page in the background.
No fancy speed dial modifications or whatever here...
