Please honor Ctrl+Click to open new tab!

Latest round of change is fine except it stops responding to control click to open new tab. It's really inconvenient having to constantly back and forth with each click, or right click and select from menu every time. I was force to go back to classic view, that's how bad it is Confused

So that the team can better look into this, can you please answer a few questions?
How long has this been happening for you?
What happens when you ctrl+click?
Which Redesign frontpage layout do you have selected when this isn't working as expected? Grid, small grid, list, simple?
Which browser do you use?

Not sure exactly when, maybe a week or two, around the time grid view got that fresh modern flat look. It happened only in grid view, not list. When ctrl+click, there's a quick progress bar and page open in place instead of new tab.

I'm using Brave, tried other browser and they all work, come back delete cookie and site data, now it works. Probably existing cached data or script not compatible with new design or something.

Thanks for the follow up.
