What is going on with LISTS?
All of the sudden, one of our SharePoint Lists has completely changed its appearance and function. It has more of the new list style now. We have to change this back to retain its functionality immed...
SO... this explains the issue we've just encountered. I have been using a 'text' field to store a hyperlink that could be clicked on to navigate to a SharePoint record from within a list view. This no longer works - the pointer will recognise it's a hyperlink, provide the hyperlink preview in the bottom left corner of Edge, but the 'click' action is ignored - same behaviour in Edge and Chrome.
If I store a hyperlink in a hyperlink field, I can use the click through from a List View. The problem is, hyperlink fields are limited to 255 characters. I was using '?source=...' to return the user to their personalised Lists and this no longer fits in a hyperlink field.
So what was a nice one click solution (to double click open a record and then click on the hyperlink, return me to my list. Is now a three click solution. OR a one click, ugly opens-a-new tab solution and returns the user to the form's native list - not the personalised list.
Not happy - it just makes us admins/devs look bad in the business when app behaviour changes like this unexpected and then we waste time researching, looking for fixes, having to explain, implementing a fix that is not as elegant... Our jobs are busy and hard enough as it is.

- Try the brave browser. I have noticed several things in edge and lists that dont work in chrome of firefox but work ok in brave not sure why
AndyM4c thanks - our Corporate MOE is tightly locked down to either Edge or Chrome. We cannot install any other browser. In fact all of our apps are delivered via a Company Portal. Edge is preferred over Chrome as we use document attachments to sharepoint records and Chrome forces users to 'download' an attachment rather than view/edit within the browser/app (i.e. making it a collaborative experience). So I am very limited here to even be able to troubleshoot with an alternate browser. But thank you for your suggestion.
