Safari progress bar doesn't disappear after changing URL fragment in address bar

• Component: Page Loading
• Status: RESOLVED MOVED

[Tobi Reif]

Load https://tobireif.com/demos/grid/ in Safari.

The blue loading bar appears and disappears - all good.

In the URL bar change the last character (the digit 1) to "2", enter.

The blue loading bar appears - but doesn't disappear.

Can you please clarify steps to reproduce? The URL doesn't end with "1" after loading this webpage for me.

[Tobi Reif]

The page has since changed - sorry!

Please try the provided steps with this URL:

This is a bug in Safari with regards to updating the progress bar for same document loads. And the fix will be tracked in <rdar://problem/37544933>. This bug is not specific to <https://tobireif.com/demos/grid/grid.html>. It occurs whenever a person explicitly changes only the fragment portion of the URL in the address bar. That is, it does not occur when clicking on a hyperlink that navigates to a fragment in the same document (regardless of whether the fragment corresponds to an actual anchor name). Disregarding the policy decision phase of the load, a same document load finishes the load immediately without providing same kinds of progress updates to the embedding client (e.g. Safari) as it would have if it was a navigation to a different document.

Actually, this bug is a duplicate of <rdar://problem/11569602>.
