Wp Custom menu problem: the link is opened in the new tab and meanwhile the same tab

I have problem with one wp custom menu, from Apperance > Menus i set that link to open in new tab. When i go to the web site, and click on Forum (which is button who i want to open in new tab), new tab with the forum is opened but, meanwhile in the main tab where it's supposed to be the WordPress i have the forum loaded and i must go back via button or shortcut.

My WordPress installation version is 3.1.1

Thank you in advance.

Regards. Ivelin Georgiev

I don't know if this is what you have done already or not but this is how I always get menu items to open in new tabs and haven't ever had this problem.

Go to Appearance > Menus. At the top click Screen Options and check the bow that says 'Link Targets'. Then on the item you want to open in a new tab just select 'New Tab' for the link target when you expand that item's information.

If this doesn't work, or if this is already what you are doing I would try updating to the newest WordPress and see if that helps.
