Share to "People with existing access" breaks role inheritance
Hi all,
The bad news is that this is unexpected. When sharing with a "People with existing access link", it should only send the user a canonical URL and it definitely shouldn't permission the user to the item.
The good news is that a fix is already rolling out and so this should go away shortly :)
Thanks!

I believe this is working as intended by MS. (I'm with you - I don't like it either).
And additionally, within our concrete use case, only site owners are allowed to share documents to people outside the site collection. Now when a member of the site uses the SHARE button just to inform another member that a document has changes, a workflow will always kickoff an approval e-mail for the owners because of the item permissions that have to be changed (disgusting!!)
If this is intended by Microsoft I do not understand the difference between
"People in my Organisation" vs. "People with existing access", because both options lead to item level permissions ;-(
If I transfer this to a support request within O365 Admin center, I bet this will lead to a never ending story :-( I raised a request in https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/36499336-enhance-item-security-share-to-people-with-exis
