Internal links act unexpectedly in Preview mode (e.g. 'open in new window')

We have observed 'unexpected behavior' when links to other parts of the UBCMS load in a new tab while in Author's Preview mode.

This can happen when a link is set to 'open in new window' or when the author intentionally loads it in a new browser tab or window using keyboard shortcuts such as Control- or Shift-click or right-click + 'open in...'.

While the pages load completely, they do not include the Edit Console toolbar and also lack 'editor.html/' in the URL ("https://ubcms-author.buffalo.edu/content..."). As a result, they can not be modified further.

We believe this is 'normal behavior', equivalent to 'View as Published' (which also loads the current page in a new tab). 

As a best practice, to successfully view or edit other pages within your site, always open the link within the same tab.

As a workaround, If you do load a new page without the Edit Console toolbar, manually insert "editor.html/" into the browser location bar so that the URL becomes "https://ubcms-author.buffalo.edu/editor.html/content..."

Your live site will not be effected by this behavior.
