Description Christopher Deckers CLA 2010-09-01 15:07:56 EDT 
Build Identifier: SWT 3.7M1

When a page contains a link that uses a target="_blank" to open a new window, that link does not work.
This seems to only happen with XULRunner on Mac (32 bit mode, XULRunner 1.9.2.8)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take Snippet 270
2. Change browser styles to MOZILLA
3. Browser.setText(x) where x contains links with target="_blank"

Yes, same for me here with:
- Mac OS X 10.6.4 
- Java 1.6.0_20 
- XULRunner 1.9.1.7

Different types of window opening

It is more important than I originally thought: even JS window opening do not work.
The attachment shows 3 links and none work with Mozilla on the Mac.

Any ideas for a fix?

This problem was introduced as a side effect of the fix for bug 293276.  SSQ can you review for 3.6.2?

fixed in the 3.7 and 3.6.2 streams > 20101021
