Here are the steps to reproduce this issue:

* Close all the tabs in Mobile Safari
* Close Safari and wait a few seconds
* Make sure the Google+ app is installed
* Open Safari
* Go to reddit.com/domain/plus.google.com
* Click on any of the links (e.g. Material Linux distro is now Quantum OS...)
* When the page loads, it is blank until it is scrolled a bit

Device: iPad 4
iOS: 8.1.1

Thanks for filing the report.

Simon fixed a related bug a few days ago: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/176240.

I'll need to check this when I am back to work.

I am trying to reproduce but no luck so far.

When you say, "When the page loads, it is blank until it is scrolled a bit", you mean that the page redirected to the Google+ app and loaded in the app right?

When I load page google+ page in Safari, it stays in Safari. The page does not use a custom protocol to open the google+ app.

Hi Ben,

Looks like plus.google.com no longer is showing the Smart App Banner.

I need to find a site that uses Smart App Banners but doesn't hide them or automatically scroll the page on load.

I will add the link here if I find one.

Ok, since its not immediately actionable,  let's close this until we have new steps to reproduce.
