Go into Settings -> Editor -> Always focus new tabs and turn it off
Go to any note and open incoming links, outgoing links, or search
Tap a link
The page is opened in the current tab but not focused
You can tell it’s not focused because the navigate back/forward buttons in the mobile navigation toolbar are disabled until you manually tap into the note/page area.
The page is opened in the current tab and not a new tab so it should be focused.
Actual result
The page is opened and not focused.

I tapped a link in backlinks and then ran the “toggle pin” command – it pinned the backlinks so they would no longer update when I navigated to different pages. But the backlinks header continued to update to whatever page I browsed to…
“Toggle pin” disappears as a command option when the sidebar is focused due to this bug. I guess this is a workaround to prevent accidtally pinning it.
Still janky
Back/forward buttons in the mobile navigation toolbar still end up disabled until the note it tapped on and focused.
Pressing back still pops up “Press back again to exit.” and pressing back again exits the whole app.
Why this is a problem
Tapping a backling/outgoing link/search result, taking a quick look, and then trying to navigate back works unexpectedly and takes two taps instead of just one.
