Public bug reported: configuring a wifi router with the Ubuntu browser, I thought the website or browser would not work because clicking links would not do anything. Took me quite a while to find out that clicking that link actually opened popups in new tabs, but because new tabs are not focused by default, and also hidden in the bottom edge when the window is smallish, I opened like 20 popups before even realizing what's going on.
=> when a website opens a new tab or popup (which effectively ends up as a tab in this browser) as response to a user interaction (I actively clicked a link to open it, it wasn't just spam) it should be automatically focused, or, at the very least some clear indication that there has been a new tab opened. ** Affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589090 Title: opening a popup/tab should directly focus it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1589090/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
