Elementor Preview button is not working as intended, or worked previously

### Description

Pressing the 'Preview' button on the top menu in the Elementor Pro Editor now leaves the editor to display the currently edited page, closing the editor. Pressing the back arrow in Chrome reloads the editor. This is inefficient as the developer has to wait for the editor to load before making further changes.

Previously, pressing the Preview button would open a new tab in Chrome, allowing the developer to view updates immediately after pressing the Publish button. Needs sorting...

### Steps to reproduce

See previous entry...

### Expected behavior

See previous entry describing the problem
