Dear Google+. Why do some things you can click in the main stream open in a n...

Hit the send feedback button. I think it should always be a new tab. By the way, I have not seen this issue myself. I use Chrome. Perhaps that is why.

It's mostly ok. But occasionally I mis-click on a person's name.

try command-click or alt-click.

clicking on a link itself is supposed to open that link in the same page

+fan tai new tab/window or not has been an issue for a long time now. In general I'd agree that links should open in the same tab/window unless you alt-ctrl-click or use a right click menu. However, G+ is a possible special case. It's quite nice that you can click on links within posts and always get a new tab without disturbing the stream you're reading. It's just that some times it doesn't behave like that.

Not noticed a problem here - always using Chrome browser or Chromebook, so could be a browser issue.

+Graham Terris You have a Chromebook? How do you like it?

+Phillip Laycock I've had it for less than a week but it's my current "go to" machine for most of what I do. It helps, no it's essential, if you've already committed to most things google, but if you have, then it takes a little adjustment (mentally) and you're away and happy. It will never meet all of your wants - but for 95% of my day-to-day needs it's a hit. For now.

I have the white Samsung 3G version. Nice.
