When a link is clicked, the target is opened in three windows

Open GregFinney opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

When I click on a link, it opens up three windows. This does not always happen, so it is hard for me to isolate the root of the issue, My guess is that it has something to do with network congestion because it only seems to appear when there is a lot of traffic on the network. About 90% of the time it works perfectly.

I am using the links to open folders on my server as follows: file://///server/path

This is probably the same issue as #125.

I'm still looking for a reproduction of the issue. Could be an issue with Javascript dynamically adding the links to the page.

On which web page do you have your links with that issue? I've heard that it happened for pages in Confluence or on Salesforce. I've tested links in monday.com but I don't get that issue there.

I experience the same issue. For me it happens when I click on a file:/// link in our local MediaWiki instance, regardless if I open a directory or a text file. The html tag generated by MediaWiki looks like this: <a class="external text" rel="nofollow" href="file:///U:/path/to/directory" title="Öffne Link">test</a> Clicking on the same link in a rudimentary test html file only opens directories/files once. The test html file I used looked like this: <html><body><a href="file:///U:/path/to/directory">test</a></body></html> As you already said it probably has something to do with Javascript dynamically adding links or something similar.
