I cannot open a new tab when I right click an open tab. Anyone know why or do you have any suggestions?

I keep trying to open a new tab next to a open tab but it doesn't open. I use to be able to open a new tab by right clicking next to an open tab and it would open the new tab next to the existing open tab. Now it won't do it.
