Preventing Opera from switching over to new tab

Preventing Opera from switching over to new tab How do I prevent Opera from switching over to the tab I opened when I click on 'Open in new tab'? This feature of Opera is driving me nuts! Is there a setting or something that I can change so that the focus remains on the current tab?

"Ctrl+Shift+ Click on the link should open it in a background tab.

but the preference to not change focus to the new tab should be under
Preferences > Advanced > Tabs

EDIT: but Gnoupi says it isn't. :("

"Just Middle-click on the link will open the link URL in a new background tab.
If this is not working for you, Then go to Preferences. Go to Advanced tab. Select Shoutcuts.
Click on ""Middle Click Options"" button. Here select ""open in background tab"" radio option.
Hope this works for you. :)"
