New Tabs Being Inefficient for Discussion Pages

This is really only a minor problem, and I don't care much about it, but I just have a question.

When I command+click a link in Opera and Chrome, usually it keeps me on the page I clicked the link on, and opens the link in a separate page.

But if I do that for, say, a Discussion page or the Editing page, I get redirected to the link both in a new tab and the tab I'm currently in. Is this just me? And why does it do that?

Yeah, that's a problem. Fix coming.

This was happening to me when I was on Chrome as well. Well, I am not sure about discussion pages, but it happened when opened "WKTTW", "Liveblogs" and "Related" from the blue buttons in the top. I haven't tested them all, but I think it was related.

The thing Heatth describes happens to me as well, and I use Firefox 4.

It doesn't happens to me on Firefox 4, though. Right now, things are fine here. (what I reported was happening in my laptop)

If you were wondering, FE, it happens with all of the blue rounded buttons on top of pages (including non-works pages, such as the forums).
