I have a user who is reporting some odd behavior in the "modern" SharePoint library UI. She has an InfoPath form library, and when clicking on the document link to open it, all she sees is the .xml). If she switches back to the "classic" UI and clicks on the document title, the form opens up. Is this normal? I mean, I know InfoPath is going away, but MS is supposed to be supporting it until 2026. I have share a couple workarounds with her, including switching back to classic view, but has anyone else experienced this?

this is expected behavior
these customizations are currently not supported for "modern" lists and libraries:
see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/modern-experience-customizations-c... for more details

Thanks dean for the helpful link!
It would be helpful to allow users to open and view Infopath forms in "Modern View".
I work for a corporation with 1000 + employees and have to tell people daily that they need to click: "Return to classic View" to use the Infopath forms.
My Infopath forms used to work in "modern view"
If anyone else is having similar issues and would like for Microsoft to work on a solution, give this post a reply so it can get some attention.

Choose Classic Experience for all form libraries with InfoPath forms. That should fix the issue
