Test case.

Command-modified link selection returns the linked page in a new tab.

But command-modified execution of the "Search" button returns an "Error" page in a new tab. The "Error" page is returned because the server receives the form data with REQUEST_METHOD = GET and QUERY_STRING = "" (blank), instead of the form-prescribed method and data.

This misbehavior was not present in Safari 4.0.5.

Another browser exhibiting this bug is Chrome.

Some browsers ignore the new-tab modifier, correctly submit the form data with POST, and display the returned page in the same tab. These browsers include Camino, Firefox, iCab, and Sunrise.

Some browsers correctly submit the form data with POST and display the resulting page in a new tab, obeying the modifier. These browsers include OmniWeb, Opera, SeaMonkey, Stainless, and (as mentioned above) Safari 4.0.5.
