With IE7 in XP SP3 which is my main system at present when I right mouse click on a link in a message and select Open in New Tab it opens the link in a new tab with the focus on the new page.
But I'm finding in WIN 7 32 bit with IE8 that when I do exactly the same sequence the link opens in the new tab but the focus remains where the link was and I have to click on the new tab to see the new page ... or do some equivalent keyboard action.
I can't find any options to select what I want to happen nor advice in HELP.
Anyone know what I"m talking about and have a solution to get the XP/IE7 behavior (preferably without selecting compatibility mode and losing some other benefit, if compatibility mode does change this behavior; I've not tried to see.
TIA
