Why doesn't "CTRL+left click" open a ticket in a new tab?

[Patrick Ralph]

When I am looking at "for me", and CTRL+left mouse click, it opens that issue/ticket within that same tab instead of opening in a new tab.

This breaks native browser behavior (Ctrl/Cmd+Click) that works everywhere else, (Example: Google search results)

Are there plans to restore standard link semantics across boards, lists, and issue navigation?

Hi @Patrick Ralph and welcome,

from which panel are you encountering this issue? I just tried from a dashboard, search, board and it works like a charm.

Please specify,

@Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ from the above page. Any of those tickets, no matter which type, when I try CTRL + left click, it just opens the ticket on that same page, and not in a new tab.

Hey @Patrick Ralph ,

it works like a charm on my side. It should be a client issue on your side and not an application bug.

@Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ Thank you for checking on this!

What I am seeing is a view-specific behavior within JIRA itself. 
In this view (Timeline, where there are real anchor links) CTRL+left click does open a new tab as expected. 

However, in other views (like "For you", in my initial example) it seems like JIRA's front end implements something different (perhaps single-page navigation) rather than standard anchor links. It seems like JIRA is intercepting the click-event, so the CTRL+click is ignored. 

Since the same browser & input behave differently within JIRA depending on the view, this does not seem to be a client/environment issue, but rather inconsistency on the JIRA side, across the various views.
