After update to NC28 mouse wheel doesn't open folders and files in new tab anymore

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 28.0.4
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): not accessible - hosted environment
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): not accessible - hosted environment
PHP version (eg, 7.4): 8.1.27

The issue you are facing:
Today i updated my main nextcloud from 27.1.6 to 27.1.8 and after that to 28.0.4. As far as i know everything works and i don have any errors. But i just saw, that i cannot open files and folders in new browser tabs, by clicking the mouse / scroll wheel anymore. A new tabs open but with the following message, instead of the folder or file:

This is the WebDAV interface. It can only be accessed by WebDAV clients such as the Nextcloud desktop sync client.

I see the same problem on another 28.0.4 installation, which i just use, don’t manage and don’t have this problem with the same computer on an NC 27.1.6 i still use.

Hope someone can help me. I use this almost every day and it would complicate things if i have to do it in a different way. Thanks a lot everyone!!!

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Have NC 28.0.4 installed
  2. do a mouse-wheel-click on one folder or file in your “Files” app.
  3. hopefully see the same message as i do

Hello again!

Does anyone have an idea what i can do or check to bring back the old behavior or can someone at least tell me if they have the same change from NC27 to NC28?

Thanks a lot!

Yep, same here. Unfortunately, there is not yet a fix for middle-click and right-click. See the following comment and open issue.

As a workaround you can press CTRL when clicking on a file or folder (which has been fixed in 42457) or clone the browser tab before opening a file or folder.
