Description Jeremy Nickurak 2010-01-14 21:24:20 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1) Create html file with contents as follows:

<html><a href="http://slashdot.org/" target="_new">Test link</a></html>

2) Open html file.
3) Open link (with regular or middle-click)
4) In resulting window open a bookmark in a new tab

Expected behavior:
- New window opens, and behaves normally.

Observed behavior:
- New window opens, but doesn't have a tab bar. Attempts to open further links in a new tab result in a new window instead. Even if the "Always show tab bar" option in gconf is turned on, no tab functionality exists in the new window.
Comment 1 Jeremy Nickurak 2010-01-19 23:04:22 UTC 
This behavior only occurs with a regular or middle-click. If "open in new tab" or "open in new window" are explicitly specified in the context-menu, the behavior is correct.
Comment 2 Jeremy Nickurak 2010-01-20 16:19:19 UTC 
Also does not occur if /apps/epiphany/general/open_new_windows_in_tab is enabled.
