Comment:

 Clicking anywhere on the plugin row in the plugins install listing, will
 cause the thickbox to load.

 That overrides the actual link to the plugins homepage, If you "Open in
 new window" or "Open in new Tab" or Right click and select "Open" on that
 link.. It loads the plugins homepage instead of the install/information
 dialogue.

 Ryans mentioned his dislike of that before. IMO, The plugin install screen
 needs to be 2.7'ised in terms of the actions, much like whats been done to
 the Plugins page.

 As for the widget, Well.. Thats why the "Install" link is there, to load
 the installer.. Maybe that could be removed and the link just directs to
 the thickbox, Sure, Its an extra step to get to the homepage, but the
 dialogue should tell the user all they want to know.

 I'm re-opening this as a UI issue,
