The design allow for opening in a new tab, but customer request https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837677 is for "new window that we could scale easily"

IMHO a tab does not fall into "new window that we could scale easily" category.

@Matt since the design allow for new tab, should we fix this behaviour to align better with customer request, WDYT ?

Comment 2 Yaacov Zamir 2020-08-06 05:41:32 UTC
add RFE to title, because this is an unimplemented feature

Comment 3 Gilad Lekner 2020-08-06 09:40:35 UTC
This behaviour depends on the user's browser settings.
One can prefer a new tab, the other a new window.
A tab can be easily be detached into a new window, we discussed this already multiple times..

Comment 4 Yaacov Zamir 2020-08-06 15:04:04 UTC
Note: the feature request say it should **always** open on new windows regardless of the user preference in their browser
 - this feature intention is to simulate openning a VNC window, that opens in a new window
 - to open a new tab they can open a new tab with the same url and press the "full screen" button https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1866215
