Previously using javascript window.open launched new tab/window from online/desktop (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). This behaviour is now changed so that url is opened inside taskpane, which is not desired.

If I open url with Office document, following happens

  • document is opened in new tab
  • document is also opened in taskpane (loading new online office instance inside taskpane)

window.open from desktop works as before (correctly)

Chrome: 110.0.5481.105 (64-bittinen)

Online word: 16.0.16213.41019

    Couldn't reproduce with scriptlab, not an office bug
