Repository navigation
clicking PR number opens two github tabs since 0.166.0 #8955
Description
Activity
Yes, same for me. It used to ask permissions to open the link in the external browser but it had already opened one window before asking. After eventually I clicked "dont ask again", now always 2 windows are opened.

I haven't been able to reproduce this issue. Marcel Wijnands (@mwijnands) and Gary Burgmann (@garyburgmann) what OS are you using?
FWIW; here's the relevant-ish config I've been using
{ "githubPullRequests.deleteBranchAfterMerge": true, "githubPullRequests.pullBranch": "never", "githubPullRequests.showCreatePullRequestCancelConfirmation": false, }I'm using Windows 11 Pro. And using v1.141.0 of VS Code now. And it still happens.
Reacted by Alex RossThanks for your patience. I can repo. A setting was hiding it from me.

What setting was that exactly? Because that might be usable as workaround.
githubPullRequests.openPullLinks. It will be enabled by default in the next pre-release version of the extension too.Reacted by Joren HammudogluThanks Alex!
