When I click the Generate button in this form, it opens the help site twice when finished. Probably something wonky about my environment but thought I should pass that on.

The Generate dialog Shell Executes the URL when done. That only happens once though - I suspect that there's something else in your shell perhaps?

What if you do this from powershell which should do the same?

start <PreviewSiteUrl>

As a baseline, here's a picture:

I opened a Terminal from DM and executed:

start http://localhost:5210/apidocs/

and I only get a single browser tab, as expected.

And you're sure the tab wasn't open previously? It'll open a new window every time you run the generate cycle (can't control the window with Shell Exec).

FWIW, I'm not seeing that here.

I made a little video. I'll send you a link to access.

I sent a OneDrive share link but also put the file on my FTP server in your home folder.

I have no idea what would cause that. I can't duplicate that on any of my two machines or my server.

This is with stock templates, right? Not some script running in the browser that might be opening another window?

I'm not doing anything that fancy. 😃

It's no big deal and honestly not worth the effort to hunt down.

Found the problem - should be fixed in the next update.

Operator error! 😄

It was actually doing that to me too - I just didn't notice.
