What version are you running?
1.7.5

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
http://reviews.reviewboard.org/r/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Move the mouse to the empty area of a review row in the summary column.
2. Middle-click (or ctrl-click)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Request URL should be visible in the status bar, and the request should open in a new tab. Instead it opens in the current tab.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Konqueror (kwebkitpart) on Linux.

Please provide any additional information below.
This is because some JS or other technique is being used to make the empty space into a fake link, which does not support normal link operations (e.g. modified click to open in new tab, status text, context menu). A better solution would be to add an element (e.g. <div style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">) that fills the entire table cell, and wrap the <a> tag around that, which would remove the need to 'fake' the link. (The same technique should maybe be applied to other columns, e.g. Review ID, which currently cannot be clicked in the empty space.)

Alternatively, it may be sufficient to specify width/height 100% on the <a> tag itself.
