Mouse button 'Back/Forward' not working in 'New Teams'

Though there are options to 'pop out' windows from Teams, Teams is a generally a single page app.

As such, one of my most used features in 'Classic Teams' is switching back 'n forth between several 'tabs' I'm currently working with. Say I've got somebody on chat, but then have to quickly check something in Teams, then go back to chat.

 

In Classic Teams this works just fine using the mouse's back & forward buttons.

In 'New' Teams, this no longer registers any action at all.

 

I assume the feature still exists, since left of the search bar there are still the back/forward UI buttons.

But moving the mouse over for every time you need to switch back and forth is a lot slower and less intuitive than just using the mouse buttons.

 

Current behavior: Mouse 'back'/'forward' buttons do not work in 'New Teams'

Expected behavior: Mouse 'back/forward' buttons register the 'back' and 'forward' navigation commands as they did in 'Classic' Teams

    Please bring this back! Simple, but very depended on and gives a big CON to Teams.

      Same here. It's a super sham of them to not QA better.

    Yes, please restore this functionality. Growing tired of "it used to work" Teams problems...

    KevinVP Adding a comment in case that helps this get fixed, I'm quite used to using the mouse backward and forward buttons with Classic Teams so it's annoying to lose functionality because of an upgrade.
