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?

Others have been posting that they are experiencing what you are. It may be a bug.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
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!
I've been having similar problems with misbehaving tabs lately but it bizarrely seems to have stopped since I set the Smart Search Field to show the full website address (Preferences> Advanced). Could just be pure dumb luck, but worth a shot.
You, my friend, had dumb luck or not exactly the same problem or only god or someone from Team Safari knows.... your solution is not working for me.
In the meantime I noticed that this failure appears just with specific pages... for example loading engadget.com won't cause any problems, but de.engadget.com does...
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.
Safari > Preferences > Tabs
Uncheck the box beside "When a new tab or window opens, make it active".

Safari – loading pages in wrong tab See 12 Mar post by ravivo2001
I'm having this same problem and I have that box unchecked and it still is happening, so that isn't fixing the underlying issue.
Same!
I don't know why, but in my opening post it says that I'm using OS X 10.7.2 which is wrong, I'm on 10.10.5 if this is something of matter but I don't think so.
Click on your avatar at the top left of the page where sign out is. When the window opens, select View Profile, and edit My Products. Helps those who are trying to help you.
Already did so, but it's not changing for the opening post I suppose.
It won't change the original post, but should show correctly in future posts.
Eric.... that's why I mentioned it afterwards! 🙂
