Google Chrome WTF? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

fresnelly · 11-02-2009, 04:36 PM

All of a sudden it's behaving very strangely.

Every time I click on a link it opens a whole new browser rather than just a tab.

The only major change to our computer lately is that my wife installed Blackberry Media Manager. I don't use it but it seems like a pretty intrusive program so perhaps that's part of the problem.

I checked Chrome's options but couldn't find an obvious "Open links in new browser" toggle. Google help is a bit of a nightmare because of all the new windows so I'm turning to you guys.

Any suggestions?

Naturally, this is on Windows Vista

EDIT:

Okay, seriously wtf? Now it's working normally again.

your mouse could or keyboard could have been stuck thinking it was crtl-clicking or something... resets are always good, i've seen similar issues appear on apples, no need to blame vista :-)

Meh, it's chrome. I don't use it for a reason.

I've used Chrome since it first came out; couldn't be happier.

Haven't had the problem you seem to be having.
