Left Clicking on [Profile - idontexist - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/users/idontexist) takes you to an error page, not the 404 page you get if you right-click and open in new tab or middle click the link.

I’ve been experiencing similar behavior on localhost with some image links.
left-click gives a Rails " No path ‘/’ " error, but right-click open-new works fine.
I haven’t been able to determine if it’s a Routing issue or a “track click” issue, but I’m leaning towards it being Routing related (I had presumed it was my newbie-ish plugin at fault, but maybe not)

Seems like a legit bug @eviltrout.
