We are puzzled by a list that has modern interface enabled. When clicking on title link for an item in the list, user is taken to new page i.e. to dispform.aspx rather than showing the item on a blade (or pane on right side).
Anyone know why this might be.

Nope...No customization in the list. It's a custom list with quite a few fields and around 5 content types.
Furthermore, when we edit the item it goes back to modern edit form. Thus the flow is "User clicks on list item title --> Redirected to classic DispForm.aspx rather than opening the item in blade --> Click Edit item on ribbon --> Goes back to modern edit form.

SolutionGurdev's colleague here. We figured out why. It was because the list has a calculated field. When there is a calculated field, SharePoint Online automatically switches to the classic experience for the Display Form and as a result, clicking on a list item takes you to the classic Display Form instead of opening the form on the right-hand panel using the new modern experience.

You're right @Vuong Le Phong. Calculated columns cause the display form to go classic. We have been facing the same problem.
Pinging @Dan Holme to see if someone on the modern engineering team could fix these quirks.
