"Preview Changes" now opens new tab

  • Prior to 3.9, clicking “Preview Changes” used the same (original) tab even for sucessive pages that I edited and previewed (whether the pages were previously published and/or updated or not). Now it opens a new tab for every new page (keeps adding successive tabs in my browser).

    Is this a change 3.9 has implemented?

    If so, can it be edited to use the same tab for all pages as before?

    Thanks.

    Preview Changes of … what? The post you’re editing?

    Thanks for responding.

    “sucessive pages that I edited” = just a normal HTML page (not post) edit with what I thought was normal tab behavior.

    Previously, after editing the HTML markup in the admin page editor quite normally (let’s call it tab#1editor), clicking “Preview Changes” opened a new tab (let’s call it tab#1visual) to show the changes visually as the page appears on the website.

    If one then closed that page-editor tab (tab#1editor) or even just navigated back to Pages by clicking the “Back” in the browser, and opened a new page in that same tab for editing, clicking on “Preview Changes” would display the page (visually, on the website) in the same tab#1visual as the previously edited page. No new tabs opened.

    With 3.9, each time you open a new page to edit and click “Preview Changes,” it opens a new tab#2visual, (a completely new tab), a new tab#3visual, etc., but leaves tab#1 open as well.

    I’m wondering if I can change the new behavior to the former behavior.
