Hi

The links counter has a problem: it doesn’t count only when you enter an URL, it also counts right mouse clicks, so it can be raised very fast and without any sense

Can you fix it?

This is only raised on the client side, the counter is fixed as soon you refresh the page.

What @Falco said is that it is not a bug, so there is nothing to fix 😉

The clic counter only updates **on your** browser.
