Headlines should open a new tab in Bugs

It would be really helpful if clicking on a Headline in the Bug Forums opened that topic in a new tab. I can do this myself, but if I forget I have to navigate back to where I was when reading through the forum. This is because the back action takes me to the top of the forum page. If I've been scrolling through topics for a while this can be frustrating. Thanks.

    DizzyDee-K  There's actually a ton of discussion on the web about which behavior should be correct.
    The general consensus appears to be that you should open site internal links within the same tab, and let the user control whether to open in new tab (e.g. on desktop by holding ctrl/command key, or pressing middle mouse button).

    I think the takeaway for our team is to improve the handling of the back action and providing things like pagination - you should not have  to start over.
