Summary: Links from http://appdb.winehq.org/ always open in the
                    same window
           Product: WineHQ Bugzilla
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://appdb.winehq.org/
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: misc-bugs

        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Shift-clicking (or Control-clicking) on some links in Firefox with JavaScrippt
on results in the link opening both in the new window (or tab) and in the old
window. Observed on e.g. "Top-10" lists. This is inconvenient.

I may be wrong (I'm not good at HTML and Javascript) but I think the reason is
having both onclick="DoNav('...') and href="..." pointing to the same page.

appdb bug, not bugzilla bug.

I see it too.

The problem is that onclick gets executed every time you click in the cell
area.  So if you right-click on the link and select 'open in new tab' it will
work.  But having to do that is annoying.

This is now fixed for the menus, but not yet for tables.

I confirm this. When I do Shift+Click or Ctrl+Shift+Click (to open a link in a
new window, or in new background window), it instead opens in both windows.
E.g. in tables. Very annoying. This bug surely should have more importance than
"enhancement". Especially, this bug is easy to fix.

This bug is almost a decade old and no one's complained about this problem in
the past 8 years. Does anyone really care?

It's an easy fix if we remove making the whole row clickable. Clicking the link
in the first column will still work, but the descriptions in the second column
will no longer be clickable.

Is it really worth giving up the convenience of being able to click anywhere in
the row in order to avoid having to right-click and select "open in a new tab"?
 (My vote is no.)

No response to my question, and no one's been heard from in 8 years. Marking
abandoned.
