Cmd-click to open new tab in background is blocked as pop-up

Reported by mkir...@gmail.com, Jan 9

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a site with pop-up blocking on
2. Hold Cmd and left-click on a link to another page

What is the expected behavior?
The page at the link that was cmd-clicked should open in a new tab, while focus should remain on the current tab.

What went wrong?
Chrome blocks the new tab as a pop-up.

Did this work before? Yes Unclear

Chrome version: 71.0.3578.98  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.14.2
Flash Version: 

Reports on Twitter suggests some people have been experiencing this since at least early December, but the Chrome DevRel team has ignored/not responded to any of them as far as I can tell.
