Had a response from Halyna re: the strange way pdfs behave and
guess what? Yes you guessed it "it opens a new window in 5.5"
We decided to upgrade our development box to 5.5 and sure enougth
pdf files open in a seperate window. Woopeee!
Now all we have to do is explain why ONLY pdf's open in a
seperate window.
A quick look at the code reveals that yet again BB's developers
have picked out pdf's, alone, for special treatment. There is even
a comment stament saying...
"# Other files link to directly - let browser figure out what to do with it"
Well quite!
Our question was, is, and remains;
"WHY ARE PDF FILES TREATED DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER FILE TYPES ?"
I'm looking forward to a year of explaining this to users :-(
