Its also triggered by quite reasonable habits. I will often middle click 
a link in Firefox in order to
open up a new tab. Immediately afterwards I will click a second link in 
the original tab.

Yes. At least, up to the point of resource exhaustion.

Very few web applications require strictly sequential navigation like 
this, the web simply isn't
supposed to work like that. In many cases there is no case for it.

Since the links on the left hand frame don't appear to have 'state' I 
don't see a reason for
them to work this way. Actually enforcing linear navigation, where it 
makes sense, can be done
by updating a session cookie or form parameter and having the page check it.

I'm going to have a closer look and see how complex a fix is. We want to 
present ledgersmb
to our accounts team for evaluation and I think this is a show-stopper.
