Research direction
Investigate the button click handler for the Boards channel header in Focalboard's React components. The issue is likely in the code that triggers window.open. Check if there's a target attribute or a browser specific event handling difference. Look at the GitHub repository for similar issues or related code in the webapp directory. A comment from a maintainer may clarify the expected fix.
