There is a bug. In the free edition, grid items have a discrepancy in how they navigate to their post. The image and “read more” anchors link to _self. The item title (headline?) anchor links to _blank, which launches in a new tab or browser window. IOW, 3 links to the post but 2 operate one way and the 3rd operates differently.
Tests In grid item: 1. click on image; 2. click on title; 3. click on “Read more”
Result: On same grid item, tests 1 and 3 navigate to _self while test 2 navigates to _blank.

From the Layout Editor, click over the Post Title element to get advanced settings and change the Link target value to _self. Don’t forget to update the layout. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/GUnE3ON.png
Yes, clicking worked and I was able to change the target. IMHO, all 3 targets should be set to the same initial value by plugin code instead of 2 _self and 1 _blank. Thanks for your help.
