Additional info:
open_new_window() method is incorrectly called with timestamp parameter and it should be fixed by passing '-1' instead of timestamp parameter.

Comment 7 Matt 2015-07-09 17:04:39 UTC 
Thanks, this fixed the issue for me as well. Does "pushed upstream" mean this will be in a updated package soon, or should I be patching all my systems by hand?

It means upstream releases 3.16.2 and later contain the fix. It is also on track to be included in RHEL 7.2, and it'd certainly be possible to roll out a fix for 7.1 provided we get the necessary permissions.
