Q&A

Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the "town hall" (meta-discussion site) for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Signing in can take you to a different tab's previous page

+1
−0

After signing in, the page displayed is the page most recently interacted with (including in other tabs), rather than the page most recently displayed in the current tab. This means that after interacting with another tab, signing in using the current tab will result in duplicating the location of the other tab, rather than maintaining the location of the current tab.

To reproduce:

  1. While signed out, perform a search on Codidact.
  2. Use middle click or ctrl click or right click to open one of the results (Result_A) in a new tab in the background.
  3. In the original tab, click on a different result (Result_B).
  4. Switch to the new tab (showing Result_A) and click Sign In.
  5. After signing in, the new tab shows Result_B (the most recently visited page, rather than the page from this tab before signing in).
  6. This means both tabs now show Result_B, and Result_A is lost.
