Opening Links in New Tab/Speed Dial loads Home Page

Hi, I'm having problems opening certain links in Opera (I did a search on this particular problem, but nothing came up).

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab or select a page from my speed dial, Opera loads my home page instead. This happens about 25% to 40% of the time when I open new links.

When opening links in a new tab, I usually right-click the link and choose either "Open in New Tab" or "Open in Background Tab". When opening links on my speed dial, I simply click the desired page. Hence, I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary.

This problem has been occurring since Opera 10.50 on my Vista machine (I haven't noticed it on my XP machine). I've tried to find some kind of pattern when this occurs, but it appears to be random for the most part.

Is anyone experiencing anything similar?

Operating System: Windows Vista
Opera Version and Build: Opera 10.51 Build 3315

Same problem in Vista.. clicking on a link in a web page brings up the home page 50 %of the time...also with 10.51 most instances of use is getting a "not responding" will have to ditch opera soon until there is a fix. If you find a fix please post here..... bugger eh!

It's because you double clink on the link I think.

I don't like this behavior and I am wondering if it's possible to change some setting so it does not do that.
