reply to #9 Fngplg also mentioned that JS solution here. I am not familiar with JS but it seems there is consensus that the proposed solution is not a good long-term fix. - reply to #11 SlurExe97 wrote: I'll describe the "tab-switching" in more detail here first:

My pages generally have 4 tabs. It defaults to opening the first tab. When I click to see another tab, the URL changes to having #(tab name) at the end. My browser's back button will light up. This is the same when previewing.

It used to be that the URL stays the same, no matter how many times I switch between tabs, and I don't have to spam the back button to get to the previous page I was on.

I'm wondering if this change is actually intentional, but non-functional? Because to enter the URL containing #(tab name) into the address bar or following it from a link, doesn't actually work to open the tab. The page always loads on the default (first) tab. Yes, I assume this is an intentional but not-yet functional feature. For a while now, users, including myself, have desired a way to link directly to a specific tab. As you noticed, it appears to be non-functional at the moment. What I found is that you need to go to the URL twice. In other words, once you get to "Page#Tab", you need to refresh the page. Obviously I think this is a bug and perhaps we should report it.

What I am most curious about is how this will work with traditional anchors. Let's say, for example, that you have a tab called "hello" and a section called "hello". Can you differentiate between the two? If not, which one does the anchor lead to?

This has always been the case as far as I am aware.
