Hi.

Im curios how i can prevent new tabs from opening the entire time.
Every time you open an asset it does it in a new tab. In use to working fairly neat and dont close tabs, i just switch back…

Before i know it, i sit with plenty of tabs.

I click on the middle button to go back. I dont close the tab

The reason i dont want to start closing tabs by nature is because when working in other parts of the engine i might start closing event graphs when i want to go to the viewport, forcing me then to scroll through everything to get back to the event graph after double clicking it.

Hi.

Would like to follow up if anyone knows how to prevent this from happening. Currently i am sitting with a situation where navigating becomes impossible. You then need to spend a few minutes closing all this nonesense.

Hi Crocopede,

Currently we can’t prevent the anim graph from opening new tabs but it is something we are aware of. We’re tracking it as UE-13714. Sorry for the inconvenience.
