Public bug reported: This is similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium- browser/+bug/728267 but I do not have issues with middle clicking. In fact middle clicking should be the same (I assume) as right clicking a link then selecting "Open link in new tab", doing this works as expected for me.
The best way for me to describe this issue is by simply showing you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mitfmSI393E When I click the + sign on the tab bar to open a new tab while viewing a page other than the new tab page the window loses focus giving focus to another window open on my system.
