• Status: RESOLVED MOVED

Window after load

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a new tab
2) Load a website slow enough to be able to reproduce
3) While the site is loading, open the inspector with Cmd-Opt-I
4) Wait till the website is loaded

Actual result:
Page is cut in two, inspector seems closed and can't be reopened. See attach screenshot.

Expected result:
Inspector is opened and the page uses the rest of the height.


You want the inspector at the bottom of the page to reproduce this.
With the inspector on the side or in its own window, the inspector also seems to clause itself but you can reopen it and the page will go back to its full size when you close it agin.

I can't reproduce this. Can you make a video? Do you have any extensions installed?

Video reproduction

Sure, here it is. Maybe something like Network Link Conditioner to slow down your network can help reproduce?

Since then, I've also noticed another behaviour that might be related:
1) Be in tab A
2) Open a new tab
3) Navigate to a website B
4) Before that website is loaded, switch to tab A

Website B will load in tab A. This one is way less reproducible though.

Oh forgot to mention. I have one extension installed: https://safari-extensions.apple.com/details/?id=com.giorgiocalderolla.wipr-desktop-4449XA862Y

Missing repro step: need to start from about:blank

This will be a Safari change. The radar will track it being resolved.

I encounter this every so often. It's not a new problem.
