After minor flame wars with two developers, I would like to post the
current status of this:

Binner claimed to have fixed bug 73361.

Therefore, I have marked that as a duplicate and have gone back to:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73851

I have added an additional test case in comment #13.

I think that after a vehement, but useless, discussion with a developer
that I can now even more clearly state the problem.

The check box: "Open links in new tabs instead of new windows" should
determine if a mouse button 3 (Middle Mouse Button) click on a link will
open in a new window or a new tab.  I 100% agree with that behavior.

IMO, the problem occurs only when the link is a user activated pop-up.
Such as the button in my test case:

http://www.neimanmarcus.com:80/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod10350121&parentId=cat000532&masterId=cat000526&grandMasterId=cat000470&index=2&cmCat=

If you have the box checked, a MMB click on the button: "CLICK FOR LARGER
VIEW" will open the link in a new tab.  If you don't have the box checked,
a MMB click will open the link in a pop-up window.  This is correct.

The question is what should happen if you click a user activated pop-up
link with mouse button 1 (Left Mouse Button).  If you do not have the box
checked, a LMB click will open the link in a pop-up window.  This is
correct.  However, if you do have the box checked, a LMB click will open
the link in a new tab.  This does not appear to be correct -- I believe
that this is the bug.  Why should checking the box that is to set the MMB
click on link behavior have any affect on a LMB click?

So, if you want this error fixed, please re vote for bug #73851 since your
votes for the bug which Binner said he fixed will not do any good.

My apologies for any confusion about this.
