To reproduce the bug, don't download the files. Click the View link directly in the page at Issue: 712019 c#4. Sorry for the confusion.

The "Cmd+click me" link in that html file does not have target="_blank", therefore the bug will not occur.

The point is that any link with target="_blank" causes the bug.
