System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.11.0-38-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.31 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 470.57.02

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.0.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-10-26 14:39, hash: 52ccb44501
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
A long time ago there was an update to the way the "Viewer" node worked in the Compositor where you could directly SHIFT+CTRL click on a specific node output instead of having to click several times to finally connect the output that you actually want to preview. This functionality seems to be broken now, maybe after the latest changes to the nodes themes etc. ?

This was the commit from back then https://developer.blender.org/D4564

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Blender, switch to Compositor and check the "Use Nodes" option
Add a node with more that one output, e.g. the Separate RGBA node.
CTRL+SHIFT click on the A output socket
Previously the Alpha out would be connected to the Viewer
Now you have to click several times to finally reach the Alpha output
