Solved Open Link in New Tab results in opening a blank tab when tiled

[smackesey]

Interesting, I tried in a guest profile and am no longer experiencing the problem. So presumably it's caused by some setting in my profile...

@smackesey or there's some culprit in your profile - in which case, a reset might be necessary. Anyway, if you manage to find it, please post an update here.

@pafflick I can reproduce it with the latest snapshot:

(Makes me think someone's working on the "can't open URL/outside links problem... )

But it brings up another problem: I used Vivaldi's capture to get a visual to show...

The capture doesn't seem to like tiled tabs! Is this new?
Oh, I see:

Capture worked -on the focused tab, and captured its null content!

(Yes, I have set new tabs to open with a blank page! That's what I get for confusing page and browser view... )

@oakdaleftl OK, I realized this bug is reproducible only in certain conditions, and it was already discussed in another thread, so I merged them.
For any future reference, it's VB-73575 Blank tab when opening a link in a tile

@pafflick Thanks.

Update: Opening the link in a background tab works just fine! 5.2.2581.4 (Official Build) (x86_64)
(Not sure if this is new behavior... A couple of new snapshots have come and gone. Works in 5.1 stable, too. I'm sorry I'd not thought to try this before.)
