Bug 219327 – Starting Safari Technology Preview 116 automatically starts Safari 14.0.1

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebCore Misc.

Starting Safari Technology Preview (STP) Release 116 (Safari 14.1, WebKit 16611.1.5.3) automatically starts Safari Version 14.0.1 (16610.2.11.51.8).

This started happening on Catalina and continues after my upgrade to Big Sur.

Interestingly, if I start STP (and Safari 14.1 automatically starts right behind it) - once I close STP, and restart STP, STP becomes unresponsive.
The application loads, but I am unable to enter anything into the url location.  If I click on STP (to bring the app to the front), it is replaced 
by (or covered over by) Safari 14.1. 

Here are some errors from system.log

Thanks for filing. This is tracked outside of WebKit. Apple Internal see:

Thank you for the report! This would be an issue outside WebKit, possibly in Safari or in macOS, so marking as INVALID.
