This is a nightmare, 20% screen lost to giant titles with giant titles below? are you for real? This style of UI design was murdered in the 90's and for good reason. |

I feel like I'm going crazy. At first I thought the page glitched out, but apparently this is intentional? |

I've also been looking for a way to disable this but can't find anything. It's annoying because I frequently want to click on an issue link and then copy the URL, but now it contains the original issue with the "popped open" issue in the querystring, which is not what I want if I'm sharing the issue link somewhere. |

There's no toggle to disable it right now. This is the new "issue viewer" that GitHub rolled out as part of their issues overhaul, and it's on by default with no opt-out. A couple of workarounds that might save your sanity:
If enough people flag this in the feedback, GitHub might add a setting for it. Check your Feature preview settings (profile picture > Feature preview) to see if anything related shows up there, though last I checked this particular one wasn't listed as a toggleable preview.

I've created a workaround to restore proper link functionality: userscript, installation instructions. This issue is a duplicate of https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/192666. |

This must be possible to toggle off. I often use smaller laptop screens, and this amount of screen estate for what?! I already have browser tabs. Command-clicking a link if I want to preserve context is not a problem for me. |

Here's a userscript on greasyfork.org that will disable modals for you: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/574438-github-inline-issue-link-bypass/code Let me know if you find a case where it doesn't work. @ZimbiX Your userscript doesn't work in some cases, for example, for links like this one: (issue example where you can see that: |

Thanks @alexchexes! Yours works a lot better; cheers. I've also noticed an issue with the Back button with mine - it seems hooking into Turbo is not as straightforward as I first thought |

Body
When clicking a link to an issue from within an issue, github opens the issue in a modal instead of navigating to the issue.
I hate this. The only way to open the issue properly seems to be to move the mouse the the opposite end of the screen to click the "View Issue" button. Not only does the standard browser workflow of navigating between pages now require two clicks instead of one, it also requires you to move the cursor across the screen.
How do I disable this?
