Safari opens page in wrong tab

a) I have multiple tabs open,

b) click a link for a slow-loading page in one tab,

c) then go over to another tab to do something else while the slow page is loading,

then

d) the slow page opens in the tab I'm reading, not the tab in which I clicked the slow-loading link.

I notice it the most when I am clicking a slow-loading page from my Top Sites, but that could be just a coincidence.

This is not totally reproducible.

Safari 10.0.2

OS X 10.10.5

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)

Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

I have the same problem.

It is very annoying, because I have to wait for a page to load before going to another tab.

Still did not figure out how to solve it.

This may be unrelated, but I also notice that frequently clicking icons on the Top Sites has no effect. I have to close that tab and open a new tab with top sites.

I have had the same thing for just over a month. It is very annoying. Nothing works--I tried extensions off, a restart, etc. Nothing. I have sent in a report to Apple.

Help Apple!

Hi everyone.

Cannot confirm my findings are true, however, after updating to PB4 I have not had any issue so far.

No, I am not gonna do that. This is certainly not a problem on my side, everything went wrong with Sierra last few updates. It does that even when there are no extensions.
