[Bug 1464436] [NEW] Pressing CTRL while clicking on a link mix old and new tab

 

Public bug reported:

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
