 When interfacing, the "Open in new tab" selection sometimes doesn't work.
 Rapidly entering the information on a slow internet connection should
 reproduce the bug.

 It's probably tied to network information, where the "Save" button SHOULD
 send a delayed network transmission of the update. Instead, it drops the
 information.

 This compounds as a worse problem with the new UI information, since it
 requires several clicks to confirm each hyperlink's present status.

 The workaround is to wait 2-3 seconds after selecting the checkbox but
 before selecting "Save".

 This most heavily affects power users and users with slow internet
 connections.
