New behavior for new look: Opens new tabs in browser

We noticed today that when we have the new look turned on that clicking an app or a report in an app will lauch a new browser tab. We replicated this with 4 users and across Chomre/Edge/Explorer. Is this a new behavior? If so how can we disable this?

@MitchM - It is new behavior, it is awful and I know of no way to disable it. Wooooorrrrst UX decision I've seen in a long, long time.

Hi @MitchM ,

 

As told by @Greg_Deckler , this is a new design feature and currently there no way to disable this. 

You can either switch to "New Look Off" mode or raise a support ticket here with Microsoft and hopefully they can help somehow.

 

Give a thumbs up if this post helped you in any way and mark this post as solution if it solved your query !!!

 

 

@Anand24 - Good clarification, there is no way to disable it in the New Look! But, you can still turn off the New Look (right now!)
