Opening new window doesn't work after upgrading to ventura

Since I upgraded to ventura I have an issue with opening an new window. Eg when on safari I choice opening a new window I got opening a new tab. For other apps like terminal, pages etc the behavior is simular.

I can drag the tab outside the window to get 2 safari windows. But this is stupid because double work.

I guess there is a new setting somewhere hidden to set this. I searched for a few months but didn't find something.

Does anybody have a good tip how to restore the correct working? Saying that when I want to open a window a window opens.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

Typically Command N opens a new window

Command T opens a Tab

Found the answer in settings. It's on a strange place I was mislead by the remark about Documents so I taught it was pages only. But seem to be more.

IN desktop & Dock. There is Sub about Windows&Apps, Here the Prefer tabs when opening documents was set to always. changed it to never and it works now as expected.

Hopes it will help others as well.
