Hi all. After I updated to 11.2.1 my Finder app has been acting up.

Ever so often the Finder toolbar disappears and at the same time Finder starts opening a new tab every time I click to open a folder. This leaves me with a large number of open tabs after I've drilled down into a folder I'm after at the moment.

The solution is to right-click the Finder header bar and selecting one of the three toolbar views (I use "Icons and text"). This makes the toolbar visible again and, for some reason, stops new tabs from opening up.

I always use List view in Finder, if that makes any difference.

I tried hiding the Toolbar manually in Finder (View/Hide Toolbar). It hid the Toolbar (as well as the Sidebar). And the strange new-tab behavior returned.
They seem unable to produce a new OS version without adding new bugs as well.
