Split Screen issue

[CorruptedBerry]

I normally open gmail and chrome in split screen

I click on a link in gmail, it opens in chrome, delete email, move to next, click link, opens in chrome.

Then when done, close gmail and continue browsing chrome

Now when I click a link in gmail, it opens another chrome window in its place

So click a link:

chrome window that I opened remains as is

gmail closes itself and in its place another chrome window opens

This didn't happen prior to android 13/one ui 5

Any help? Its very frustrating.

Thank you
