`f<Shift>x` no longer opens the link at `x` in a new tab

I just upgraded to Vimium 1.60. An important piece of functionality appears to have regressed.

Previously, if I were to press f and a link target ABC were to appear, then I could press ab<Shift-c> to open the link in a new tab. That is, fab<Shift-c> behaved in the same way as <Shift-f>abc.

This is no longer the case. Now, pressing <Shift-x> for any x while in f-mode deactivates f-mode. That is, pressing f<Shift-a> or fab<Shift-c> is the same as pressing no key at all.

I noticed this behavior on Chrome 60.0.3112.90. I then upgraded to Chrome 61.0.3163.79, which has the same behavior.

(Edited to clarify key notation.)

I'll look into this.

Thank you!

One more note: the same happens with <ShiftDown>fabc<ShiftUp>, which used to open abc in a new tab. Now, I am required to release shift before pressing the link target: only <ShiftDown>f<ShiftUp>abc works.

This should be fixed in v1.60.1 (which is rolling out to Chrome users now).
