Too many new tabs created!
I don't think you need to open a new tab every time I click on an issue or story detailed view. Before long I end up having too many Yodiz tabs open.

It is an interesting problem from a UI design standpoint. The problem can be summed up this way: you have an existing view context. The user navigates to a new view context. The system needs to preserve the original view context. When the user dismissed the new context, they will want to return to the original view context as it was.
The problem is, tabs are a terrible way to do this. Opening a new tab does preserve the old view context, and the new tab does contain the new view context. But, when I dismiss the new context, your application cannot return me to the previous view context... because it's in another tab. So I'm in the new tab, I dismiss the new view context, and I get taken to the default view context in the new tab.
Next thing I know, I have 4 or 5 tabs, and I have no idea which contains which view contexts, nor which been refreshed and which are displaying out-of-date information.

I really hate it when an application opens new tabs/windows. Unless you are sending me to another site, open all links in the current tab.... we can hold the control key when we click if we really do want a new tab.
