           Summary: Opening link with unspecific hash in a new tab (except
                    context menu) twice in a row results in hash for
                    current window changing
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: webkit-bugzilla at mail.hachre.de


STR:
1. Place a link in a html document looking like this: <a href="#hash">some unspecific hash</a>
2. Open the html document in Safari or Chrome (Windows and Mac OS confirmed)
3. Command + Click the link twice in a row (Control + Click on Windows), doesn't have to be quick
4. Observe first click correctly opens a new tab with the URL having the hash attached.
5. Observe second click changing the hash in the url of the current window.
6. Observe the second and each consecutive click failing to open a new tab.

Additional Info:
- Happens on all platforms (Windows and Mac OS confirmed) on both Safari and Chrome.
- Happens with Safari 5.1 using WebKit2 on Mac OS 10.7.
- Happens on Windows when using the middle mouse button to open a link in a new tab instead of the keyboard
- Doesn't happen using the context menu for opening in a new tab. (Both Chrome and Safari, all platforms)
- Links with a href in the following style are not affected: <a href="index.html#hash">some precise hash</a>

Without knowledge of the WebKit code I am unable to give a component that might be causing this bug, I'm sorry about that.
