Opening first link works as expected (opens new tab), subsequent links on the same tab open about:blank tab and do nothing.
Issue specific for iOS Chrome.
Tested against links at http://www.challies.com/a-la-carte/a-la-carte-926-3

elachlan CreditAttribution: elachlan commentedCould you please let me know if the problem still exists with the dev module?
Comment #2
ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedInstalled dev and will be testing today.
Comment #3
ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedLooks like it fixed the issue, I had several people test it. Only comment I received is that the target= has been removed. Not sure if that's relevant or not.
Comment #4
ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedOkay, looks like target=blank isn't working. Attaching screenshot of settings.
Comment #5
ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedOops, wrong screenshot...
Comment #6
elachlan CreditAttribution: elachlan commentedDoes it not work at all? or is it not working on mobile sites?
Comment #7
ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedSo here's an update. Maybe my site is just crazy at this point because others don't seem to be having the same issue in the queue.
Comment #8
ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedK, I can now confirm this is happening first hand. On an iPhone, the link with the text "Standing Strong" in the first sentence of this node's body opens to a new tab on iPhone using Chrome browser but doesn't load any content.
Again, use this link:
http://www.challies.com/a-la-carte/a-la-carte-107-3
and then click the link "Standing Strong" to reproduce the behavior.
Comment #9
ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedLooks like this issue is specific to Chrome for iOS.
Comment #10
ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedOn my end as well, looks like first link clicked on page load/reload works. All links clicked after that experience the problem.

ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedGoing to try and give a summary here of what I've found out. On latest dev:
I've looked through the Chromium issue queue but haven't seen anyone else dealing with the same issue.

Comment #13
elachlan CreditAttribution: elachlan commentedThanks for all the information.
Can you please let me know the version of iOS and chrome you are using?
I do not have an iphone to test this against. So this might be hard for me to reproduce.
External Links uses JQuery to insert the links.

Comment #14
ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedDefinitely could be related.
Chrome version 30.0.1599.16
iOS 7.0.2
Comment #14.0
ryan.gibson CreditAttribution: ryan.gibson commentedUpdating original post to make it more clear.
Comment #15
elachlan CreditAttribution: elachlan commentedUpdated the issue summary.
I am going to say it is probably an issue with the implementation of the target attribute/JQuery in iOS Chrome.
So there isn't much we can do at the moment. But we will keep an eye on the issue.

ericjgruber CreditAttribution: ericjgruber as a volunteer commentedI'm having this issue today, but it's not limited to Chrome. Safari and Chrome on iOS won't open external links in a new window, but desktop works fine.
Comment #20
elachlan CreditAttribution: elachlan commentedYou are more than welcome to try and converse with the developers at Chromium. They will need an example site and solid instructions.
