Version:           1.4.0 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc

- open akregator
- open an article in a new tab
- switch to tab
- middle click on a link in the tab

For me, regardless of settings, the final step will always open the link
in the current tab. I set middle click to "open in background" tab in
settings and it doesn't make any difference. Using "open in external
browser" has the same problem; it still opens in the current tab.
Configuring left-click has the same problem.

Are there any workarounds for this? This really interrupts my daily news
reading sessions. :-(

Same problem here with KDE 4.2.0 on Arch Linux.

Middle-click in konqueror opens in a background tab, so it certainly
would be best for akregator to do the same to preserve a consistent
feel.

This feature works on KDE 3.x and I had used it whenever I wanted to
read a link after finishing the current article.

Same problem with KDE 4.2.0 in Gentoo Linux and same reasons for wanting

Same problem in 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. Is there any plans to fix this? Surely
it must be simple to fix? It makes using the internal browser an
incredibly slow and frustrating experience. I've switched back to the
KDE 3.5 Akregator because of this. :(

It works using right button and selecting "open in new tab". You then
get your new tab as usual in 3.5.

Given my opinion of web-based applications (both performance and
convenience-wise), It's really an embarassment to KDE that I've more or
less dumped KMail and aKregator for GMail and Google Reader. (It means
that, despite Firefox being slow and Konqueror 4.x being a pain to work
with, it's not as painful as the native options)

Let's hope that, by the time KDE 5.x rolls around, there will be a GUI
behaviours regression test suite to prevent a recurrence of these
problems.

Yeah, this bug basically renders the Akregator useless, i've started
browsing pages with standalone browser again.

Somehow in opensource model where everyone can focus to tasks they see
themselves interesting, this kind of showstopper issues don't get the
attention they would deserve and whole movement suffers. With this I
mean that KDE4 already has all kind of bells and whistles which most of
people would be happy without, but then again we failed to even fullfill
the core functionality of KDE3. Yes, we all know it's coming, but it
should have landed already.

I even tried to get tags enabled in bugs.kde.org so that we could get an
overview to the regression items, but that request got buried since KDE
uses tags for release process instead of milestones.

I can also confirm this bug is still in KDE 4.3 RC2. :-( I stopped using
akregator a while ago because of this bug. I'm really confused why there
is no urgency to fix such a critical interface bug.

I have closed my above bug #188833, but want to transfer one additional

Any hope to get it corrected in KDE SC 4.5 ?

With KDE4.7rc1 (not tested with KDE 4.6), the problem seems to be partially solved :
 * middle-click opens a link in a new tab,
 * but the configuration isn't followed (i.e. if left click is configured to open in a new tab and middle click to open in the current tab, it doesn't work)
