When I open a new page in the bg with middleclick, sometimes the new page is blank

This only seems to happen sometimes.

When it happens, if I attempt to view the source I succeed. So, I can see the source of the page, but not the page itself.

This can happen if you middle-click a JavaScript (onclick) link.
Such links need to be left clicked.

Note: I'm the RequestPolicy developer.

Please check if disabling RequestPolicy (or setting "temporarily allow all requests") solves this problem for you. If it does, please try to provide me a repeatable example so I can test/debug/resolve this. For example, if there is a specific page and a specific link on that page which always has this problem, that's a good example.

You can also open the Request Log from the RequestPolicy menu, leave the log open, then open a link which fails. If RequestPolicy is causing this problem, then most likely you will see a blocked request in the log when you middle-click the link.

Thanks!
