Can't browse to different shortcuts in browser, need new tab

[podonnell 47]

Trying to think of the best way to explain this one --

When I have my server dashboard or normal 'home' where I can see my content open in Chrome, and I try to click another shortcut -- nothing happens. The URL on the top changes, but the page does not update. I need to open the shortcut in a new tab for it to go there.

Essentially, I'm unable to quickly move to my 'dashboard shortcut' or 'home shortcut' without opening a new tab.
from /index.html#!/dashboard to index.html#!/home for example
The URL updates, but the page stays on where it was previously, still responsive there.

I've tried with using my full DNS name and the internal IP, it seems to happen either way.

Any ideas what might be causing this, or a trick to get around it?

Hi, seems to be working just fine in my testing. Do you have any browser extensions installed?

Good idea, I tried in private mode with no extensions, but it behaved the same.

Are you using Chrome or another browser?

I've just every major browser for testing and haven't seen this.

Yes I have always seen this issue as the Refresh does not happen when you click the shortcut/favorite link.  Clicking the Favorite link and then F5 it will load the new path.

Note they always work from side of Emby ie new tab will load the page but from within Emby a Refresh is required to change the page.

Only tested in Edge.

You are onto the issue here for sure. I always see the path update, but the page doesn't refresh itself. I just tried what you said, and when I hit F5, the page loaded.

I'm very curious how @Lukewould be seeing different results.

Browsers have memory performance tools now, that affect how tabs open.  If you had it turned up to maximum, new tabs should work, but previous tabs may be slow to open.  It doesn't sound like this is the problem.   Might be worth a look at your browser settings.

Maybe I just need to better understand what you're doing.

Here's a video of the issue:

Mouse cursor isn't captured but you can see the shortcuts being clicked.

As mentioned, clicking on any shortcut that changes the path does nothing until I force reload the page. If I'm outside of emby, the shortcut works fine. But if I'm already on my dashboard and I want to go to my 'home screen' or vice versa, it does nothing.

What if you press it twice?

No luck with that unfortunately. I have to refresh the page to get it to load, or open it in a new tab.

It has always been that way for me.

If url is highlighted, then clicking enter a second time will load the page somewhat the same as a Refresh but clicking the shortcut/favorite multiple times does nothing.

But get the same results in every browser.
