Dashboards & Visualizations

Why is Splunk drilldown setting opening two tabs instead of one?

I have a master dashboard with many icons that have drilldown settings enabled to open another dashboard in another tab. Recently, it has started this weird behavior of opening 2 tabs of the icon url I click on instead of one. My exact settings are > Drilldown settings / On click link to custom url / the url I have in is correct and opens the right url that I want / and the box is checked for Open in a new Tab. I am not doing any user error like clicking too many times. This issue occurs when opening any drilldown link and the master dashboard historically did work properly by only opening one tab of the new dashboard search. Has anyone seen this before? It is a Splunk Enterprise instance and I am looking at the dashboard from a Mac. 

Note: This is an issue because the drilldown url is another dashboard - its loading the same dashboard twice so when I click around it uses a lot of resources loading many dashboards unnecessarily.
