On MD-side, when link is followed, the context menu Back menu item is not enabled, and no other (apparent) way to return to MD rendered document.

Links are supposed to open in a new window (open a new process), not in the web preview control. Can you provide steps to repro?

Sure, I originally encountered this issue on my WinXP machine last week when writing a blog post. Just reproduced it on my Win7 machine with the following MD:

Testing a [link](http://google.com)

Here are the steps:

  1. Create new MD doc with the above content.
  2. Click the link in the MD rendered view.
  3. Google page appears in MD-side view.
  4. Context menu Back menu item is disabled. Only way to return to MD rendered view of document is to reopen the MD file.

Also, maybe relevant, I am using IE 9 as my default browser.

I can't reproduce this on the master branch (even with IE as default), but I can using the version in the installer. I remember opening links was changed a couple of weeks ago so they always opened in a new process. If you can build MarkPad from source yourself you shouldn't have this issue :-/

Ah yes, I see Issue #91 changed the behavior to open links externally. Didn't see this one when I searched prior to opening this issue.

Getting a resolution to this issue might just kick me into trying to build MarkPad myself... anyway, thanks for investigating and confirming!
