Hi,
Recently i noticed that when loading a webpage on tab #1 in Safari Browser-
If During the time i wait for the page to load, i move to Tab #2 - than the webpage that i tried to load on Tab #1 is getting loaded on Tab#2 instead.
Does anyone know how to fix this behavior?
Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Best Regards!

I don't see anything suspicious in the report. Others are having the same problem, so it may be a bug with this version of Safari.
Safari opens page in wrong tab
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.

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your effort.
OK - i called Apple and a senior advisor is helping me with this case.
We scheduled a meeting tomorrow after some things he suggested to do didn't help.
When I'll have an update I'll post it here.
Thanks again for your time, patience and help.
Best Regards,
Raviv
Hi Dominic,
Thank you very much for the extra ordinary walk trough!
I did it all Step by Step..
Unfortunately - the issue remains.
One hour ago Apple support collected a lot of data from my computer + a Record of my screen while I reproduce the issue.
I'll put an update here the moment I'll have one..
Thanks!
Hi Osnapitzjuliana,
The case is still open with Apple support (the case is escelated to engeneering).
Actually the SME that work on this case said: it's the first time they face this issue.
Our next call is scheduled for tomorrow.
when i'll have any update i'll post it here, I promise.
Thanks
Ok,
I just had a phone call with apple support.
The message is quite disappointing:
"Engineering is aware of the issue but has no solution or workaround.
If (and only if) this issue will be solved, it will be released as one of the
software updates of Sierra - and even than there won't be any announcement
regarding this issue.".
It seems that from engineering perspective this issue is rare and extremely
uncommon and therefore placed in low priority.
It turns out that a lot of people choose to complaint about issues rather to
report it to apple.
I said that with this kind of attitude I can understand why people chose not to send
their complaints to apple support....
I'm sorry to say that this case was closed as "not resolved" one...
Thanks
Thanks for trying Ravivo. At least I know it's not some type of malware on my computer or configuration issue. You saved me a lot of time and effort!
And, I very much doubt that the problem is "rare" and "extremely uncommon" grrrrr...
Nope..
And I have bad good-news..
I had to update my MacBook to macOS Sierra (was on Yosemite before) and first thing after restoring my Finder Sidebar: I checked if i can reproduce our beloved behaviour, but for now I can't.
So I can't go through the problem with Apple anymore I think... sorry, kids. 😐
Kids...lol
no one called me a kid in the last 30 years..😉 and even than i wasn't a kid...
I actually think your news are all good - it means that they stood up to their word to solve this issue in Sierra..
In one point or another we will upgrade to Sierra - so there is still hope of stop seeing this issue..
BTW - Warpspasm, your welcome.
KIDS... STOP!
I'M BACK IN!
I swear, it didn't happen to me since this very moment after I read this "new" answer hours ago.
I'm on the newest of new updates of macOS 10.12.3 (16D32), Safari Version 10.0.3 (12602.4.8) and p!ssed 2.0.
Tim, call me!
And I'm back..
I just found out that I wasn't on the newest of new updates and it seems that Safari 10.1 got it all for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it's also available for Yosemite, so can you guys from Yosemite confirm that this is over?
Finder > finder preferences > general > is the box checked for open folders in tabs instead of new windows .
I opened a case regarding this months ago, but good to know they are on it with ya...
Tab on Safari
