Opening links from other applications doesn't work

rgasper

With orion set as my default browser, when I click a hyperlink in any other application outside of Orion - MS word, fastmail, a note - it often fails: That application minimizes (even if it is on a different monitor than Orion), orion takes the focus, but no new tab is opened at that link.

This is not entirely consistent. For example, being clicked from the fastmail app, this link works properly - fastmail stays maximized, orion opens a new tab at the link location.

However this link does not, exhibiting the error behavior described.

all links clicked in other applications open a new tab in orion successfully

rgasper Thank you for commenting.

Do you still experience this issue on the latest version of Orion 1.0.2? If so, when you click on a link and experience this issue, does pressing Command + T create a new tab? Or, does holding Shift while clicking the link open it in a new tab?

Also, if you showing links from external apps in the link preview (the default setting), you can disable that by unchecking Settings -> Browsing -> Open links from other apps in Preview (hold Shift to open in new tab)
