    Looks like the team opened and resolved this bug over the past week! It seems to have primarily affected older builds. If you're still seeing it, can you please comment below with the version number (from edge://settings/help) and submit feedback through the browser? (Shift+Alt+I)

I am having this issue with one user in both Chrome and Edge. IE works fine.

It splits the tab every time a %20 is present in the URL embedded in the document. 

The file works fine for other users, including myself.

Chrome and Edge are up to date, have bee removed and reinstalled repeatedly.

A new profile was built on the computer to rule out profile issues; however, the issue remains.

I have logged into the computer with my own account and the link works normally when I click on it. 

I'm vexed!!!!
