The problem I want to report appeared after updating 3.3.2 version. No changes in themes, plugins, pages, or anything else have been made.
The fact is that in my website usually the links included (on pages or posts for example) are external links (that is, the link is open in a new window). Obviously, the root page (that is, the page from my website where the "external link" is located) remains with no changes.
The trouble is that after 3.3.2 updating, the root page is redirected to the external link address. This happens with every link going to a new window. For example: when clicking the twitter link at the footer left in http://www.xaviergimeno.net/, a new window is opened, but my home page is redirected to my twitter profile (http://twitter.com/#!/Xavier_Gimeno).
Maybe the problem is arranged in 3.4, but perhaps not.
Anyone has any idea on this problem?
Thanks.
That's ... How WP has always worked. URLs you click open in the same window. They're supposed to, unless you specify them to open in a new window (which we don't recommend, bad user experience, it's 2012, people should know to right-click to open in a new window). And that certainly wasn't changed from 3.3 to 3.3.2
Do you have a plugin that was doing that for you? Maybe it stopped working with the upgrade due to unrelated reasons.

Hello lpstenu. Firstly I like to thank for your reply.
The case is all my external links are supposed to open in a new window, because that's what I've specified in all cases. Until 3.3.2 this was what I specified, and links opened on a new window without any problem.
And regarding the plugin, no plugin.
The problem, I repeat is the following: after 3.3.2 updating, the root page is redirected to the external link address, which before 3.3.2 never happened. This happens with every link going to a new window. For example: when clicking the twitter link at the footer left in http://www.xaviergimeno.net/, a new window is opened, but my home page is redirected to my twitter profile (http://twitter.com/#!/Xavier_Gimeno).
It is not a problem of plugins, I think it is a problem of wordpress, but maybe I am mistaken.
Any other idea?
