I may not understand exactly what you're doing, but I just tried it on
mine and it works okay. I have "Switch to the existing tab" selected
in the duplicate link protection part of MZ config. I created a
bookmark on my personal toolbar to www.google.com and opened it in a
tab. I then opened a new tab, clicked my bookmark, and it took me back
to the original tab. That is how it should work. Then, I searched for
something in that tab, opened a new tab and clicked my bookmark. It
loaded www.google.com in the new tab and left the original tab (with
search results), again this is how I think it should work. If yours is
doing something different, then it seems something isn't working right
:)

I am using SM 1.1.16 and MZ 1.8.3.5i (nightly build) so maybe
something was fixed between your version and mine. Of course there are
pros and cons of using the nightly, for me it works great but there
have been others who have unresolved issues. You might want to try
replacing your multiviews.jar with one of the revisions from here:

Good luck.
