I've noticed slowness with this

@bridiver @petemill any thoughts on why middle clicking or right click > "Open in New Tab" would cause a blank tab to open? I know this happens via the renderer... sometimes it seems to take 5-10 seconds to load the title for the tab. It seems also, as @dolebas experienced, it doesn't open altogether

@dolebas are you seeing a blank tab when you try to open? Or is nothing happening?

I've noticed the slowness in recent versions. Nothing I've changed, that's been merged to a release, that would cause it so I'm not personally sure (yet).

Since I changed my default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo a couple of weeks ago, this issue has disappeared for me.

Possibly related to #13394 and #13058

I believe this may be a dupe of #12362

I had also accidentally created a duplicate with #13413, looked up relating issue and sadly didn't find this. I have re-created this:

open_new_tab

Note that I also tried using Cmd + Click on OSX, which was also unsuccessful.

I usually do not have this problem, only on specific websites does this occur.
I can reliably get this issue to occur 100% of the time when on www.Andertons.co.uk

Reproduction Steps

  1. Enter a search term in the Search field
  2. Right click OR Middle Mouse Button on any result and select open in a new tab

Actual Result
Link does not open in new tab

Expected Result
Link opens in new tab

Example
On this page of search results
Right click on any result and select open in a new tab.
To verify that there is a link you can copy the address of the link and open a new tab manually and paste it in.
