Workaround for anchor links not working in new tabs (1.81 KB, patch)
2015-02-07 19:12 UTC, Michael Catanzaro 		none Details | Review

Description Manuel Rego Casasnovas 2014-01-21 18:31:04 UTC 
For example if you use Ctrl+Click (or middle click) in the following link, the page is not scrolled properly:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#dis-pos-flo

If you do a regular navigation or refresh the page you'll see that the scroll is set properly to the right place (in this case "9.7 Relationships between 'display', 'position', and 'float'").

In MiniBrowser it's working fine, but MiniBrowser doesn't have tabs it actually opens a new window.

Workaround for anchor links not working in new tabs

This patch works reliably for me. Now if anybody can figure out what's wrong....

Note that anchor links to a different page are still broken with this patch, but they are broken in MiniBrowser too, so that is a separate bug. This patch "fixes" anchor links to the same page (in new tabs).

(Obsoleting since this patch is not an acceptable solution.)

Be happy: this is fixed in WebKit trunk, I think due to http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/186761

Thanks Carlos!
