Tabs keep refreshing when switching tabs

[zgahn]

Hi,

So I've encountered a strange problem in Iron 49.0.2600 32-bit on windows 7.
I've been using Iron for a while now, upgrading to newer versions occassionally, but since updating to the latest version (the one mentioned above) it's doing the following:
Every time I move from one tab to another tab, the page that was already opened and loaded previously on that tab, will refresh again.

Well, I say -every- time, but that's not quite true, it does it most of the time, which is still very annoying (and makes gmail pretty much unusable). I have been unable to spot any structure in when it will behave normally and when it does the refreshing. It does not seem to matter how long ago the tab was last clicked on, for example.
The page does not refresh when going from one program in windows back to Iron.

Known issue? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Same problem here. My temporary fix is "Open new window". May be a flag we can change?

Thank you for awesome browser Iron.

Perhaps this sheds light on what is going on:

chrome://discards/

Ah, thanks for the tip! It says "70 discards during this session" for me. So it unloads the least interesting page (however that's decided) as soon as memory runs out?
Maybe this was happening during my scheduled virusscan, that usually takes up quite a lot of memory; I'll keep an eye on it.

It does make me wonder why it started happening as soon as I updated to this version of Iron though..?

I get this too, it's annoying

You can turn this off:
Type in your address bar: chrome://flags, then disable this flag: #automatic-tab-discarding (Turn it to 'Disabled' from 'Default')
