Environment selector is now changing with each open tab

Sometime in the rent past an update seems to have been made to the Postman desktop where the environment selector changes depending on which tab I have open.
I run with several tabs open and when I want to change environments I expect all the tabs to be pointed to the environment I have selected.
Now what I see is if I have tabA and tabB on Environment 1, then I change tabA to Env2, when I go back to tabB it remains on Env1.
Considering I work with upwards of 15 tabs open at any given time and jump between them for whatever usage I have, needing to remember to change each tab every single time I visit it, is a horrible user experience.
I find myself accidentally submitting requests to an unexpected environment and wondering what is broken (or worse, make an errant production request).

How can I change PM desktop back to where the environment selector is global regardless of what tab I visit? This is super frustrating.

Hey @christofer.gendreau :waving_hand:

Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman:

Are you using “pinned environments”?

Do all the open tabs belong to the same Collection? Are you working within a shared Workspace?

Hmmm, Pinned environments seem to be the root of the issue. We collectively have pinned environments thinking it keeps our most used environment(s) at the top of the list. NOT that it makes it a default environment to apply to the request tab. Very confusing recent-ish change that changes the pattern we had been using.
Thanks for pointing this out. Seems we need to think differently about how we use postman now.
