Hello,

I have a desire to have multiple Open OnDemand applications open at the same time.  
In OOD 2.X, command-clicking multiple icons on the dashboard opened multiple corresponding applications in new tabs (I am a Mac user).  
However, in OOD 3.0, command-clicking one icon will no longer select the other icon. This happens in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Reloading the dashboard page allows me to select other applications, but it’s a hassle.

Only the Job composer and Shell applications can be command-clicked to select other applications.  
I thought I should set `new_window: true` in `manifest.yml`.  
Active Jobs and Home Directory worked as expected, but `new_window: true` does not work for applications with `role: batch_connect`. These applications do not open new windows when clicked normally (without command-key).

How can I set it to open mutiple applications in new tabs ?

Best,

I can’t replicate this on my OOD 3.0, but that’s me clicking in the Interactive Apps page.

Are you on a particular page or are you using something like `shared_apps` or quick launch apps?

I’m using FF and Chrome on Ubuntu.

Thank you for your replay.

> Are you on a particular page or are you using something like `shared_apps` or quick launch apps?

No. I clicked `System Installed App` in dashboard. And it is not a quick launch app.

I try to use FF on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on ARM64.

When I hold down the control key (not the command key in Ubuntu) and click an icon in the dashboard, that application will open in a new tab, but the other icons will be translucent and cannot be selected.

I have updated OOD 3.0.1, but this problem still exists.

The problem occurs in the dashboard. The content of `/etc/ood/config/ondemand.d/ondemand.yml` is following.

```auto
pinned_apps:
  - 'sys/*'
pinned_apps_group_by: category

```

For simplicity, `/etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard` was removed. Then, when I hold down the control key and click on the pinned application icon in the dashboard, I will get the following screen, and I cannot click on any other icons. Reloading the page will fix it, but that is a complicated process.

I have tested this on Windows, Mac, and Linux environments using Edge, Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, all with the same phenomenon.

If anyone has any tips on how to solve this problem, please let me know.

Best,
