  • On iPadOS, Orion gets into a state where it opens everything in a tab - even the back button opens a new tab

  • BugsDesktopClarification

Steps to reproduce:
I often browse forums like HackerNews by opening the main page and then opening links in a tab. Often I will open comments in the same main page where I opened Hacker News. After doing this a few times, every link opens in a new tab even though I’m not holding the command key or long pressing and selecting “open in new tab.” It even gets into a state where pressing the refresh button or the back button opens a new tab. This also causes a problem if I’m browsing privately but then login to make a comment. I can be logged in, press the “reply” button on a story, and it opens in a new tab which wants me to re-enter my password.

Expected behavior:
New tabs should only open if I command-click or long press and select the option to open in a new tab. The refresh and back buttons should never open a new tab.

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
I’m not sure how to get the Orion version. It should be the latest as of Dec. 31st, 2022.
iPadOS 16.1.1 (20B1010)
IPad Pro 12 inch (version 5, I think)

    dc Are you able to provide steps to reproduce or at least a video of the issue?

        Sorry, I just saw the followup to this today. If it happens again, I'll take a screen recording. I don't know the steps to reproduce because it's rather sporadic. Just browsing a bunch of sites and opening a bunch of pages via Cmd-Click and eventually it starts happening.
