Description

New documents are not opened into tabs, but new windows. Same for opening multiple documents.

I tested it with two different Big Sur installations and confirmed tabs do not work. I tested this with Catalina and tabs work as intended.

MacDown Version 0.7.3 (1008.4)

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the tab behavior on macOS Big Sur with MacDown 0.7.3 and compare it with Catalina, including new documents and multiple-document opening. Done means new documents and multiple documents open in tabs on Big Sur as they do on Catalina.
