Description

Describe the bug

When opening multiple documents with Ctrl+Left, the documents don't load but instead an URL with &opendetails= is opened. This doesn't happen when opening one document and waiting for it to load before loading the next one.

This seems to be a regression from Nextcloud 32

To Reproduce

I'm unable to reproduce it but I have seen a video where the bug occurs.

Expected behavior

Multiple tabs are open with all the documents

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows
  • Browser: Vivaldi 7.6.3797.63 (Stable channel) (64-bit) and Mozilla Firefox 128.4.0esr (32-bit)

Research direction

Start by testing Ctrl+Left with multiple documents in the reported Vivaldi and Firefox environments, comparing it with opening one document at a time. Investigate the URL containing &opendetails= and verify that the completed behavior opens all selected documents in separate tabs without requiring sequential loading.
