But does it fix the incredibly annoying IPB issue where the previously opened tab is reopened when trying to reply to a topic on, say, Neowin?

I'm using Safari 5.0.2 as we speak. No tab was re-opened when I clicked on 'Add Reply'.

Try it with Fast Reply, that's where the issue occurs.

I think it was this

Open a new tab and load say google on it, close the tab, and then press reply on a post

I think it was this

Open a new tab and load say google on it, close the tab, and then press reply on a post

EDIT - It still does it

Safari is still fail

Wish I could reproduce this. lol I've never been able to do this in Safari 5 and I've used it every day since it was released.

Perhaps the issue with safari and the open tab was a problem all along, and they fixed a long term issue... That IPB has not come along and fixed yet.... (reverted to a normal browser) I'm still convinced that IPB does somethign special for the safari browser because if you watch it using the developer tools it doesn't fail until it loads safari specific code.

Works fine here...

Well all I did was install Safari as normal, login into Neowin, navigate to this thread.

Then, open a new tab, load google, wait till it loaded fully, close the tab, and press reply under one of the posts

Safari opens the Google tab back up along with the reply window on this thread

On Neowin or any board that runs IPB, either QUOTE a message or use the FAST REPLY. The last tab you closed will reopen again, and steal the focus. This did not occur in Safari 4 and has been in every release of 5.

Yep, just tried. Can't do it.

I really find it hard to believe the bug affects everyone else except for you. Are you using some kind of custom WebKit build? Because this only occurs with Safari, and it happens on both Mac OS X and Windows. It does not happen with any other WebKit browser on any other platform.

I'm not lying. I seriously can't make it happen. Standard Safari 5.0.2 with a few extensions (none of which affect Neowin).

Which other browsers do you have installed ?

and Do you have any other apple software installed ?

[Elliott]

Uh, yes, I have other Apple software installed. I'm running on OS X. :p I have Chrome and Firefox installed as well.

[Phenom II]

Ah, OSX

I am on PC, and Im guessing this issue only affects PC then ?

Nidoking is saying it affects OS X, and John S. also uses OS X and says it's affecting him. I just can't do it.

[Phenom II]

lol Weird

Must be something you have installed / not installed - that we have the opposite to you

What model Mac do you have? It just seems so strange that you are the only person I know of who hasn't had this bug. Just seems so odd.

I have both a 13" MacBook Pro and a 27" Core i5 iMac. I can't make it happen on either.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Here's a video of my MacBook Pro:

I can't reproduce it either, which is funny, because I could before. I think after 10.6.4 or 5.0.1 it stopped.

Yep thats the correct way to reproduce it

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

I've tried again to reproduce the bug, using the same steps as Phenom II. To no avail.

Safari 5.0.2, OS X 10.6.4

Doesn't happen to me either. OS X 10.6.4, Safari 5.0.2
