@Gwen-Dragon yours has been the 404th post in this thread.

@potmeklecbohdan Actually, this is post 404

(I suspect bugged from forum migration)

Why has development slowed down that way we do not get important Chromium security updates for snapshots? Covid-19? Some holidays?

[Steffie]

@finneko
Yes.
No.
I dunno...

Maybe, instead... C87 is just being very difficult...

For a split second, I thought you might have skipped that dull miserable possibility…

For reasons that make very little sense other than possibly my innate masochism has got out of control again, earlier this evening i returned to Snapshot as my default, instead of Stable that had been my safe harbour for the past couple of ~3 weeks since i found & reported VB-73739: New Tab Position half-broken. To avoid the abject frustration of the broken tabs behaviour when New Tab Position - After Related Tabs or - After Active Tab is selected, i have set it for now to As Tab Stack With Related Tabs.

The problem with the original & ongoing behaviour of that setting is that it arises frequently [but NOT all the time] that i desire to open a link from an existing stacked-tab, in a new tab outside the stack. Afaik the official documentation, & all my experimentation to date, does not support such dynamic flexibility.

My question: Have you clever peeps managed to engineer some cunning hack, or otherwise discovered some undocumented bug/loophole whereby with some hotkey held whilst clicking the link, you can escape the stack for the subsequent new tab position?

I have also tried various combos of standing on one leg as i click, or rubbing my elbow CCW on my kneecap as i click, but to my surprise even these time-honoured techniques failed me here.

PS: Oh wow!

@Steffie I told you... on-topics should be forbidden.

@Steffie It used to be that opening as a background link would do this, but that was a bug and is now fixed.

AFAIK if you turn on the "as stacks" option, the intent is for all items opened from inside a tab (links, popups, etc) to stack.

Yes i agree, so to be clear the behaviour i described & asked about i am classifying as Dev-intended behaviour, not a bug. My issue though is that this design is too inflexible as i doubt i'm the only one who, sometimes, needs an individual new tab to situate itself outside the stack. I'd just faintly hoped someone might have discovered a loophole [i didn't remember the one you mentioned, so damn...]. Ta.

Welcome back!

Yes, we need urgently a new Snapshot (with Tabs regression fixes…). Let's hope the Devs stopped dancing and faffing about…

[Steffie]

@hlehyaric Only faffing? Ta for those bolded letters... sheesh, i was tired !

[hlehyaric]

@Steffie I'm a coward. I would like to use the other word, but I didn't dare…

[Steffie]

Oh, yes... finally!

Upgrading now!

[potmeklecbohdan]

@Steffie You cheater!

@Gwen-Dragon Flu? In springtime?

Interesting… If it had only a single ell, in my local dialect of Czech it’d mean luck (not the original meaning).

(& if it had c instead of z, it wouldn’t be German )

Damn guys, you need to find a chat room for your off topic nonsense, I have to put this thread on ignore now. Geez
