I should've said &quot;background tab&quot; rather than &quot;new window&quot;

If I right click on a tab to open it in the background, it will open in the background, but once the page loads, the active tab is set to the new tab.<br />
<br />
More annoyingly, sometimes when a page actively refreshes itself in the background the active tab will be set to that other page even though it wasn't opened recently.<br />
<br />
I use Opera 9 on four different PCs and this only happens on one of them.<br />
<br />
What setting do I have set in Opera that makes it do this?

Opera sets active tab to other tabs when they refresh.
