Haha yes I noticed this myself. :| Even though I always right click and open in a new tab, it is annoying. Also the same on N4G, so it's something for the higher ups to fix.
This is the only solution by using the right click . But previously it was the best as the window automatically open in the new tab . That was user friendly .
-Added to the list, but as N4G goes usually we go =/.
