Mobile: Tapping a link in incoming links, outgoing links, or search doesn't focus on the opened page if "Always focus new tabs" is off

Abisheik · March 22, 2024, 5:32pm

Steps to reproduce

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.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Expected result

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.
