      I've been using "new Opera" for the best part of a year now, and it is developing really well - thanks! Of course, like all old-timers I have a bunch of suggestions but this post is focussed on a single type of behaviour which could perhaps be called a bug: inconsistent behaviour of the middle click.

      When I click with the middle mouse button I expect a new tab to pop up in the background, without exception. For a large proportion of pages, the tab opens in the foreground. Take this page, for example:

      http://www.sqlservercentral.com/

      Every single link on that page (okay, I haven't tested all of them!) refuses to open in the background with a middle click. Please add this to your priority job list! Many thanks.

      (Java script pop-ups would need to be handled intelligently too - hopefully they can be forced into the background too...)

        Ha, the same problem exists on this very website, too!

          Works as expected here. Do you have any extensions installed?

            Duh, thanks, that was exactly the problem. I'm such an idiot. It seems as though I had a bunch of extensions installed from when I first installed v15. I continued to use Opera 12 and it was only at version 21 that I came back and switched over properly!

            Thanks!
