Reproduced on same version and same platform.

Clarifying post: This isn't referring to what the new tab button does. It's referring to where a middle-clicked or ctrl-clicked or Open Link in New Tab ends up in the tab list.

When enabled, if you open a new tab, it will spawn the new tab at the top of the vertical tab list.
When disabled, if you open a new tab, it will spawn the new tab at the bottom of the vertical tab list.

I like this new spawning direction and I want the "Open link in New Tab" to be consistent with the new spawning direction. It currently spawns the tab just below the current tab, regardless of the new Spawning direction

However, I'd note that the current behavior mirrors that of Chrome and Firefox, which is different from what you might be expecting: It sometimes will open tab(s) next to the tab where you clicked on the link. Here's what would happen if you middle-clicked a bunch of tabs from tab C:

A	B	[C]	C6	C7	C1	C2	C3	C4	C5	D	E

Note that C6 and C7 are before C1-5. I'm not sure what causes this to happen, because sometimes the sequence will break after a while, i.e. you open C1-5, do something, and C6 might go before C1.

I believe this is actually expected behavior. Arc does it like this as well
