I am using the web version and since a week i cant middle scrollwheel click anything anymore to open it in a new tab. CTRL + Left mouse click is also quite broken.

Still working fine for me. I'd clear your browser's cache/browsing history and try again, or try another browser.

Still not working, also not working in other browers and even on other laptop/pc.

Its like a dropbox update broke it.

I want to use CTRL + Left click to open a new tab or use my middle scroll mouse click to open a new one.

It only pops up a scroll wheel option when doing the latter one. 

It still works fine on all other websites.

That would normally mean you're not clicking on the actual link, but just a non-clickable portion of the web page. I've tried on multiple browsers and it's still working as expected to me.

Nope!

Its on the clickable folders. 

Ive worked with the dropbox web version for 5+ years now so I do know what I am talking about.

Its a chance made on dropbox's end couple weeks ago.I just want to open dropbox folders etc easily. The rightclick open in tab is so slow/takes way more clicks and is horrible to use when I need to open a lot of tabs.

ctrl + click or middle mouse wheel click takes one click so i really want to get that function back.. 

It still works on some parts of the web version in the top but not on the folders/list.

Also having this issue, running Firefox 107.0 . Previously, I was able to middle-click folders and they would open in new tabs, which follows the same standard that web browsers have been using for decades.

Now, middle-clicking will go right into the folder, as if I'd left clicked. Instead of a single mouse button to get a tab open, the process is now:

1. right-click folder

2. move mouse up or down to the "Open In" sub menu

3. wait for the popup

4. click "open in new tab"

5. switch back to the tab i was just in, because opening a new tab this way also switches to it, despite my browser being set to *not* switch tabs when I open them

Four more actions and several more seconds added to my workflow, multiplied by however many folders I need to work with. This has already wasted an hour of real time.

Devs, I beg you, revert this change
