Since upgrading to 19.05, following a linked biblionumber from a report and
making an edit to an item will close the new browser tab after the edit is
complete. This is not desired behavior (at least for my library) because it
doesn't allow us to check for accuracy after saving changes and it does not
allow the opportunity to make edits to additional items attached to the record.
The link has to be clicked again from the report to be able to see the record
view.

To test:
1. Create a report with linked biblios that includes this snippet of SQL code:
CONCAT('<a target="_blank"
href=\"/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl?biblionumber=',b.biblionumber,'\">',b.biblionumber,'</a>')
as biblionumber
2. Run the report
3. Click on a biblio link; the record view opens in a new browser tab
4. Click on the edit item button; the edit item screen loads
5. Make a change to the item; click save changes
6. The browser tab closes, leaving only the report tab open.

Note, the changes do appear to save before the tab closes. I suspect that a
well-meaning developer intended for this to be a shortcut or time saver, but it
is a major annoyance when attempting to make edits from a report and the record
has multiple items attached. It would also be nice to have visual confirmation
that the changes were indeed saved and they are accurate. The tab auto-closes
before the user gets that visual confirmation.
