AddToAny by default opens a new window when a service is selected. This is great.

For me, the original window, containing my Drupal site page and the AddToAny button, ALSO opens/switches to the service selected.

So I end up with 2 windows with the service selected and my original site page is gone.

Please help.

To try and debug this, I added a target="_blank" attribute to an anchor link in my site and my browser behaved correctly: A new window opened with the linked page and my original window stayed the same, with the original page.

So I would say that my browser is responding correctly to a link that opens a new window .

I am not a programmer or expert in any way, but this leads me to believe it is something in the module?

Any further help would be much appreciated.....

Thanks to the help of another Drupal user, the problem was identified as being caused by the Google Analytics module.

JGO,

I just tested this and was unable to reproduce. However GA was not installed on my test site. GA might be the problem though I was under the impression that that particularly bug had been squashed. You might try adding a target="_blank" to a link on your site and making sure that works. If it does not work, just any sort of htmlpurifier settings you might have. I had a site once that refused to open links in a new window because something kept stripping out the _blank tags.

As pointed out in #1075934-2: Original and new window both open with the service - It's an issue with another misbehaving module, Google Analytics:

#1057914: Custom outbound link tracking with outdated link targets or javascript is broken

Seems that the workaround is to configure the G.A. module to not track outbound links.
