So unfortunately Gmail still isn't fixed (middle clicking on links, still opens
in a new window).

Part of that is going to be a Safari fix, but part of it is going to need to be
a WebKit fix.  I don't believe this could be fixed in Safari TOT, since WebKit
TOT isn't passing any event context information to the WebViewLoadDelegate as
part of the open new url callback.  the NavigationAction does not have an
event() set on it when you middle-click a gmail link, so there is no way this
information could be being passed up to Safari.

I don't think this is the right bug to track the brokeness of
gmail-middle-clicking.  But I was asked by some avid Safari users internally to
finally see if I couldn't get to the bottom of this Safari + Gmail bug.  As far
as I can tell, there are still fixes which need to happen in WebKit (and
possibly Safari as well).

Perhaps someone on the Apple side of things can give me some guidance as to any
work you all have done to fix the "Safari + middle-click in Gmail opens a new
window instead of a new-tab behind the current" bug.
