Opera closing website when opening external apps (Ex: Magnet Torrent)

I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I download with Torrent Magnet the site closes.
I believe this doesn't just happen with torrent sites, but with any site that needs to open an external app.

I already reinstalled Opera, but the problem persists.

@kurosaki225 Seems to be a new behavior, according to the changelog:

DNA-106639 Close tabs created for opening external apps

@leocg I understand, but the problem is that this way I will need to open the site numerous times when downloading more than one magnet link.

Is there any way to disable this?

@kurosaki225 Not at the moment as far as I know.

Problem solved (Update the Opera first).

Just go to "settings", "User interface" and uncheck "Automatically close tabs used to open external applications".

Done.
