safari 10.0.2 loading tab replaces the focused one

Since the last update to 10.0.2. (10602.3.12.0.1) everytime I open a page from the URL-Bar and switch to an opened one whilst loading, the opened and now focused tab gets replaced by the new tab when finished loading.

Is this a known issue?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), null

I understand that my description of the problem is really hard to understand and also do that you like to hunt for points by dropping fast and "possibly correct" answers, but dude, please... this is not what solves my problem. This isn't even close except it handles tabs... I didn't jumped from the previous built of Safari to the actual one + changing some preferences without remembering. But thanks for the effort!

Barry, whatever you did: keep it. I set the Smart Search Field to not show the whole address (cause I already had the option on), but the problem keeped on spinning. Then I turned it on again. Problem still present. After some hours I turned it off again: problem gone. Wasn't able to reproduce it... and what did I do then? Turned this sh*t thing on again and there it is: my beloved problem is back and now I can't get rid off it. Will try it again tomorrow.

Oddly enough, I *think* the problem has just happened me again as I tried to load a page on Ars Technica's UK site at the same time as I opened a new tab to check back here (oh the irony). But I might've just mis-hit my keys and thought I'd opened a new tab when I hadn't.


It's a very niggly issue, I can't replicate it at will at all. Though this is the first time I've noticed it since I made that change, where before it was happening several times a day.


I'm going to try switching off all the options under Preferences> Search to see if that makes any further difference.


Truly baffling problem.
