Open link in new window - this cause to set active window to the new one. I'll try to explane what I want: W1 - window where is a link W2 - new window In W1 we want to open a link in a new window. Right click on the link (I hope bug 17921 will be rosolved sooner as in M20) -> open in new window. The W2 is now active, but I want to stay on the on W1, while W2 loads. But when I CTRL-TAB to W1 from W2 W2 becomes again active one during loading... This sucks - I must again CTRL-TAB.

I'm experiencing a bug that probably related to this one on my G3 mac, 9.0 with build 2000 03 22 05: after context-clicking "open link in new window" the original window (w1) looses focus and gives it to the new window (w2), but the *link stays active*. then when I return focus to w1 the link is inactive again. new one, same one? if it's the same one then this is probably (a little) more than 'enhancement' don't cha think.

I too can see the *link stays active* behaviour described by "boo" 2000-03-23 using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607 BuildID: 2001060703 Maybee it's related to Bug #35191
The "steal focus" thing is one of the mostfreq bugs, Bug #77675 It seems obvious to me, that we are discussing two different issues here.
