this report has been filed here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/550118 "In lucid it switches automatically to that tab (if there are files within that directory, which is a bug in its own right). In fact, the focus can't be changed with the mouse, but you have to press the Down key." Thanks,
" It seems that in the latest updates the behaviour of nautilus has changed back to what it was in Jaunty whereby opening a new tab by middle-clicking opens that tab in the background. This successfully circumvents the above issue. " Closing this report.
