Outlook (new) opens 2 (two) tabs from email links from Indeed and LinkedIn. Old outlook is not affected, nor is Outlook 365. Same issue, different browsers....

For several months now, when I click on links in emails from LinkedIn or Indeed, Outlook (new) opens two (2) tabs for the same link. Every time.

It does not do this if I switch back to the (Old) Outlook.

It does not do this if I open the same email/links in my Outlook 365 desktop application.

Since Microsofte embedded "safelinks" scanning, the Outlook (New) app has been a royal pain with links in emails, hiding links from view, and with this additional irritation, it seems that the development team have lost the plot.

My "Default" browser has no bearing on the result., it does it in Chrome or Firefox when set to default.

Switch to the old version of Outlook App, the issue goes away.

Forward an email to my priamary Outlook365 mailboxes... the issue is non existent...

By testing 3 versions of Outook with 3 web browsers, I only get the issue with the New Outlook App,... therefore I can only conclude that Microsoft have fudged this (New Outlook) version up even more.

*Note that for me it is only email links from LinkedIn and Indeed job alert emails and notifications, I have yet to find another platforms emails that are affected.

Are you getting any issues with these?

Lmk here if you find any other major platform emails too,

Ta!

    I am also having the same issue with LinkedIn & Indeed , is there a solutions found ?

    Are you referring to the platforms or links that are found within emails? If you’re referring to the platforms, I was unaware that this issue was happening; it only started occurring for me with the latest update of Outlook New.

    Thank you for the middle button discovery!

    This problem has only begun, I can't believe they closed the ticket..

    My client has another oddity that I doubt is related but would like to know if anyone else is affected:

    Search for something in Google, in the results there are down arrows to expand questions, my client cannot expand by clicking the arrows? Also cannot click on certain links on shopping sites... I'll have an exact example soon....

    Yes, that's right, I am not sure of the latest updates on Outlook. I bought a new Windows 11 laptop......

    Which, I guess, has the latest outlook. Has the Microsoft team found a resolution?

    I have no idea; I came across this issue yesterday and wanted to see if I was the only one experiencing it. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one; I found a temporary solution.
