Fixing issue with accidental exit of following list

If you open the menu: "Family Tree/Following" you get a list of actions that have taken place on all the PIDs one follows.

I can sometimes have many hundreds of entries from over the last 24 hours, and it takes quite a while to scroll down and wait for more info to arrive from FS servers.  It can take upwards of 5-10 minutes to scroll down to where I left off the day before.

Now, I KNOW that if I right click on a name, that I can select from the menu "Open link in new tab" , that the PID will open into a new tab, that works great!  

However, there are occasions I'll have a brain fart and double left click, on the name, or click once, opens to panel, and I'll click on the name again, under these circumstances,  the PID opens into the same tab as the Following list, wiping out the list.  Which means I have to reload the list all over again and wait 5-10 minutes again to get back to where I was in the list. Not having to reload the list, would relieve the load on server processing, and save me time and frustration.

If you could change the behavior of double clicking the name in the following list, so it defaults opening into another tab, that would be absolutely WONDERFUL.
