[Bug 1464436] Re: Ctrl+click or middle click on a link overlays content of new tab on current tab

 

This bug was fixed in the package webbrowser-app -
0.23+16.04.20151111.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
webbrowser-app (0.23+16.04.20151111.2-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  [ CI Train Bot ]
  * New rebuild forced.
  * Resync trunk.

  [ Olivier Tilloy ]
  * Add missing unit test cleanup.
  * Ship empty apparmor hardware profile directories to avoid adding a
    runtime dependency on apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu. (LP: #1511439)

  [ Ugo Riboni ]
  * Add keyboard shortcuts to undo closing tabs (Ctrl+Shift+T and
    Ctrl+Shift+W). (LP: #1499767)
  * Create the webview in a safer way, by keeping the incubator around
    and monitoring the progress, and by using sync creation if there is
    a pending request. (LP: #1514701)
  * Hide webviews created via onNewViewRequested until the tab they
    belong to becomes current. (LP: #1464436)
  * Use lowercase letters for keyboard shortcut invokation in autopilot
    tests.

Title:
  Ctrl+click or middle click on a link overlays content of new tab on
  current tab

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Fix Committed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Go to a site with a link, click on a link while you are pressing ctrl:
  the page changes to the new page you want to go to, but you can't
  scroll it and you can't click links. If you open tabs you see there is
  a new tab open in the background.

  Switch from a tab to another and eventually all goes ok.

  My opinion here is the new tab is opened in background, but its render
  is overlying the current page.

  I didn't think oxide is relevant here, because it opens the tab in background, it's only a wrong management by webbrowser.
  I found this while I was testing lp:~uriboni/webbrowser-app/keyboard-navigation, but it's present also in trunk, and we need to fix for convergence
