Hmm… let’s see - I do have one slightly uncommon modification to my middle click system. I have middle-mouse-button-scroll enabled. Do you? That might explain the difference between our experiences?
Then I’ll be honest - I’m not actually sure what discourse IS doing. I’ve never experienced this on other sites, and I’ve now confirmed issues across Chrome (on Mac), Firefox (on Linux), and the newest IE (on Windows) on Discourse. Whatever Discourse is doing, it is very much NOT something that is done “all over the place”.
Edited to add:
Also, I’m trying again now, and on Google Chrome it isn’t actually opening up clicks after the first /at all/. I thought it was earlier, but it doesn’t seem to be now.
Edited again:
Actually, it sees to be that on Chrome clicks after the first require a double click in order to click the link.
