"reply post" in new window

[giszmo]

I used to read threads first unread to end, middle mouse button clicking on all "reply post" buttons that I found relevant, consolidating the opened tabs into one or zero replies based on what I find later in that thread. This functionality was broken. Please bring it back.

Isn't that what the "quote" button does?

The possibility to "quote" in a new tab leaving the currently being read thread open is broken for me on my Linux Chromium.

There's something wrong at your end, then. It should work.

Ok, if it's only me then I will have to work around that issue somehow but I don't know what I changed. I always used middle mouse button to open in new tab since years.

Looking at the code:

Code:

<a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=post;quote=1191483;topic=109482.0;…"
onclick="doQuote(1191483, 'a31ff84f61f96a0348095e93a33e8e8f'); return false;">…
</a>

I see "onclick" in combination with a href. According to this, onclick will not get fired on firefox, IE and opera.
May I ask to cancel the event or whatever it takes to restore the old behavior for middle mouse buttons in opera (and safari), too?

(Am I the only user of chromium or is the issue still something else?)

That doQuote stuff has always been there. I'd guess Chromium changed its behavior regarding onclick.

To add, doQuote() does nothing if quick reply is off. Oh my beloved quick reply, why did I not think of turning you on before?

Maybe you can use this to fix it:

Thanx for the hint. "Use quick reply on topic display: …" was the problem. Show (off/on by default) causes the problem and I don't see what this option does at all other than break my mmb.

It shows a box at the bottom of each thread in which to reply.

I could swear it didn't but I guess I had the wrong dropdown.
