This seems to happen with other links, too. In the settings tab, 'public gateway' has the same behavior.

@ExpandingS Thanks for submitting this issue and the details necessary to reproduce this easily.

@lidel for context

I was able to reproduce this issue on IPFS Desktop

But not using ipfs-webui by accessing the same webui outside of electron using http://127.0.0.1:5001/ipfs/bafybeiednzu62vskme5wpoj4bjjikeg3xovfpp4t7vxk5ty2jxdi4mv4bu/#/explore/QmSnuWmxptJZdLJpKRarxBMS2Ju2oANVrgbr2xWbie9b2D

We need to do some more investigating to figure out if this bug is still occurring when the latest webui version is used inside of electron, and we'll have to wait for a new IPFS Desktop release to do that.

Confirmed:

• this issue still exists with the lates webui inside electron.
• this is non issue on localhost loaded via web browser.

Smelly Code: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop/blob/main/src/webui/open-external.js

Notes:

• Looks both events are being handled somehow causing links to open twice when clicked from within ipfs-desktop.
• Investigate and Fix.

Action: moving this to ipfs-desktop issue board.
