Q: ios7 keeps refreshing apps after switching

I dont know if this is a new "feature", but it's really annoying.

 

If i have, say, an open webpage in Safari, and say i've scrolled down the page and zoomed in to a section i'm interested in, then switch to Mail to get some info, and then switch back to the webpage, the webpage will refresh and take me back to the top.

It's REALLY annoying.

 

Why can't it just stay where it was, like in ios6??

 

Is anyone else having this issue? Can anyone think of a fix?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2

    This annoyingly happens in just switching tabs when using only Safari. Just in checking information between tabs is impossible to quickly Jump between tabs. Everytime I select a new tab it refreshes. Also if you're shopping and checking info after putting something in the shopping cart the refreshing of the tab asks you once again to put the item in the cart. Pain in the.....

    Does anyone know if these problems exist on the new, smaller iPad Pro?

     

    My iPad 2 used to fly when it was first released but, like most users, has seriously slowed down with each incremental update to the point where it's far from a pleasure to use.

     

    'There was a problem with this web page so it was reloaded', the bewildering tab refresh problem that obviously will never get a fix, the iOS Mail app closing as soon as it's opened, the SERIOUSLY S..L...O......W lag between keyboard input and waiting for the characters to appear on screen. etc. etc. etc

     

    I need to upgrade now, thanks to Apple's (likely intentional) increasingly poor OS/hardware compatibilty, but if the aforementioned problems still exist and simple multi-tasking is still beyond the realms of iOS, then I'll have to consider another platform.

     

    Shame really as I like iMessage.

    Thank you Chris!

    Looking forward (NOT!!!) to how the app refreshes work now that I've turned refresh off globally. Another problem to replace this one?

    oh Apple, how much I love thee . . .

    best regards

    Chris
