 * my wordpress website has an error…
    When I click on some tab, it doesn’t work
   at once… But when I click on it with mouse3 button, it opens the same page again(
   like F5) in a new tab, and this time every function works like charm…
 * For example :
 * [http://Mysite.org/wp-admin/post-new.php](http://Mysite.org/wp-admin/post-new.php)
 * I can not click on any tab with mouse1 button… But when I click category tab 
   with mouse3 it opens a new tab and it is fixed here :
 * [http://Mysite.org/wp-admin/post-new.php#category-pop](http://Mysite.org/wp-admin/post-new.php#category-pop)
 * Then every menu tab becomes clickable again…
 * What is the problem ??? How can I get rid of this disease ?

 * It maybe a javascript click event is causing the issue.
 * Simply if the page hasn’t fully loaded. The intial click may not register as 
   the DOM is still waiting for the page to complete rendering. Also, if event.preventDefault
   is enabled on the event handler for that object it wouldn’t allow you to click
   the object.
 * Open your website in firefox. Right click inspect element on the link you are
   clicking. Inside the DOM check if there in an ev assign to the end of the tag
   click this and look at the javascript running a handler on this element.
 * Adding to this it’s very rare for mouse3 to be assigned to anything. You may 
   have a macro assigned to F5 on mouse3 on your local machine which is causing 
   it to open a new tab.
