**NOTE:** This bug has always existed, yet never fixed (!?)

So if you’re currently in a Graph in which there is a Collapsed Node (graph node) if you **double click it** (or **right click** on it → **Goto Definition** ) - If you attempt to open it from the Graph you currently are… that Graph(Tab) gets replaced by the Graph you just opened. (its hard to explain with words)

##Just follow these steps:

1. Go to Event Graph in any blueprint.
2. Place any node → then **right click** on it, → **Collapse Nodes**
3. Attempt to open this Collapsed Node(Graph) ( **double left click** OR **right click** → **Goto Definition** )
4. Take a look on your tabs… Event Graph has been replaced with this Graph you just opened. Instead of opening in a New Tab.

**NOTE:** This does NOT happen if you open a Collapsed Node from a Macro or a Function… Only from Graphs

**NOTE:** You can properly open a Graph while you are in a Graph only from the ‘Graphs’ tab (on the left) - This bug never occurs from there.

Thats because its a navigatable sub Graph: [Screen capture - 4d4ac5bfb429ae635ebad128257d9bc5 - Gyazo](https://gyazo.com/4d4ac5bfb429ae635ebad128257d9bc5)

If you want to open it in a new tab instead hold down CTRL and doubleclick it. Like in many other applications e.g. Browsers, Explorers, etc. its a very well know Key Combination.

No Bugs, everything by Design.
