If I am on a page that I want to stay on, but wish to open something from the search bar in a new tab, that page opens twice on two new tabs.
Example: I search for Masarinae
I middle-click to open the About (or Observations) in a new tab and two tabs load simultaneously:
This is on Brave on Ubuntu Studio 19.04.
When I used to do this on FF on UStudio, it would open one tab but have a warning on the tab I opened from to say “Popup blocked”.
(going through old bug reports with no replies)
It’s the same in Chrome. By default, pop-ups are blocked in this browser, so if you middle-click the About link, it only opens one tab but you get an error message saying “pop-up blocked”.
But if you change the browser settings to allow pop-ups from inaturalist.org, it opens the same page in two tabs.
It only happens if I middle-click and doesn’t happen if I ctrl+click.
Thanks, Cassi!
I had noticed that this has stopped happening on Brave on Ubuntu, but forgot to come back here to mention it.
It is odd that it is happening for you now!
I checked again now now, and a single tab opens whether I use middle-click or Shft+Ctrl-click. i.e. correct behaviour.
interesting! it’s always been this way in Chrome I think. just no one had posted about it yet.
