[TYPO3] problem with links form RTE HTMLarea

[Michael Nardell]

Greetings :: All of a suddend it seems that the rte HTMLarea tool has 
been creating links that cause th browser to open links in a new window. 
The default settings seem to be set so that a new window would not open:
target is  left blank
style is set to internal-link

Is there some setting that overrides this? Or has anyone ever observed 
this kind of bug in the sytem. The way I have been fixing things is by 
manually puttin a _self tag in the Target field. This is kind of a 
hassle and now there are alot of content writers working with the sytem. 
  Am I going to need to go back and fix all there links with this _self 
setting?

Mike
