Desktop Postman App - Not opening requests or examples upon clicking them

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the Issue

When using the Postman desktop application, clicking on a request, found within my Collections section, doesn't open the request to be viewed in a tab. I must click on the three dots and click on Open in Tab option every time I want to review a request. Examples will also not show in a tab upon clicking on them, and there is no option to Open in Tab. The only way to fix this issue is to use the browser version.

Additional notes:

  • My desktop Postman is current on updates.
  • I have tried double-clicking requests to open and preview them.
  • I have restarted the Postman desktop application and still doesn't work.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Click on Collections in the left menu
  2. Setup your Collection as shown in the picture below (the structure is important)
  3. Click on the request within the v1 folder
  4. Notice the request doesn't open in a tab
  5. Click the three dots and select Open in Tab option
  6. Notice the request opens in a tab
  7. Now click on the saved example
  8. Notice the request doesn't open in a tab

Actual: Not able to see the request upon clicking to preview it. Expected: Upon clicking a request or example, it will open in a tab so it can be previewed. [just like it does in the web version]

Note: This appears to be due to the structure of my Collections (this used to work) image
