If you’re using internet explorer 7, with tabbed browsing, and you click on a link in a local flash movie or projector (not embeded in a webpage), IE7 will open one window the first time, and multiple windows for each subsequent click. I’m not sure why this happens, but hopefully it will be fixed.

I have yet to find a way to report this problem to microsoft. It’s not a terrible issue, but is extremely annoying when debugging.
