Navigate fails to open additional tabs with WebDriver on Internet Explorer

Problem

In the event of launching a web page on a new tab on Internet Explorer,

• For the first time navigate works fine.
• For subsequent times, navigate fails to open a new tab and direct to a web page.

Assuming that you have the following action lines.

Line #15: setting [target browser instance] [new tab] is to open a new tab on Internet Explorer browser when using navigate action.

Line #21: navigate [https//google.com.vn] works fine.

Line #23: navigate[https//www.netflix.com/vn/] fails to open a new tab.

Cause

As its limitation, WebDriver always opens a new window instead of a new tab on Internet Explorer.
