When I click on an enxternal link with the module enabled, I am taken to a new window/tab for that link, but the original page I clicked on also moves to the external link page.

Have tracked down the cause of my problem, but not a full solution:

I installed the Google Analytics module, and this causes the problem with the links. Need a fix as I need Analytics on my site. Thanks.

Hi, same problem here. You can become both to run, if you don't need external tracking of google analyst. I disable'd this option in the settings - and now external links can be opened in external window.

Maybe there is a full fix??

You can close this, its definitely a google_analytics problem if you check out the issues section for that module. The only workaround at present does appear to be to turn off outbound links.

Thanks Joe90

What is the corresponding issue at GA?
It would be useful to mention the link in this thread
Thanks

In D6, Google Analytics 6.x-3.x-dev fixes the problem.
