Bug#467237: epiphany-webkit: cannot open links in new tabs

[Michael Gilbert]

Package: epiphany-webkit
Version: 2.21.90-1
Severity: normal

here's another bug with the latest version of epiphany-webkit.

it is currently not possible to open a link in a new tab (or a new
window for that matter). the "Open Link in New Window" option in the
right-click menu does not work.  also, there is no "Open Link in New Tab"
option in the right-click menu (actually it may not make sense to
provide both options there).  and finally, the middle-click on a link
does not work.

thanks for the hard work.
