Opening new tabs by design must be changed!!
MicrosoftJust so I'm clear on the feedback, do you mean when a SharePoint page has a hyperlink on it, to not default to open a new tab - rather to remain on the same page. I know when using the Text web part, the default is to not open in new tab; and you can check a box to make it open in a new tab.
Can you share an example of when the behavior you describe is the default? And Melito and I can track, discover more and recommend back to the right owners.
Thanks, Mark
Hi Mark, and @Melissa Torres
It triggered me to go deeper in this case. I wrote a document explaining the details which I will add to this thread.
Concluding
The behaviour of opening tabs is at least confusing..
One problem is i.e.. if you are in site contents: a new tab is opened when you open any library or list.
If that is not what you want and open another list or lib form site contents it opens a new tab iso opening the same tab. Now you have to close that one first. If not you end up with this:
For each opening : a new tab.
