That's standard XHTML behaviour. It's supposed to be like that.

You can set the browser to open links in a new tab/window, you can right click or middle click.

If everyone hates it I'll add a MOD but I've only seen you and one other mention it I think.

Nah, leave it, this is normal and gives us freedom. Let the n00bs learn to use browsers :D (mouse gestures, alternative clicks...)
The other way around does not work out; if you set it up to open in new window there's no way to mid-click to open it up in the same one.
