Multiple CiviCRM pages open in different tabs causes strange behaviour
November 03, 2015, 12:26:25 am
Hey,

I am wondering what people think about this issue and how to address this and possibly solve this.

When a user has multiple civicrm pages open in different browser tabs. CiviCRM is acting strange.
For example: Open the manage case of Case A in your first tab and managae case of Case B in your second tab.
Then start editing case B (e.g. change status) but don't save it yet!
Then go to Case A and edit status of the case but again don't save it!
Then go back to case B and press save. I would expect to return to the manage case of Case B. But I got redirected to manage case of Case A.

What do you think this causes? I do think this has something to do with the User Context which is stored in the session and which is Last In First Out (and contains the redirect). Somehow the session is stored browser wide and not per tab in the browser. So how could we solve this problem?

Jaap

ps. It might be that our client has some budget for solving this behaviour in CiviCRM.
ps2. This behaviour occurs in CiviCRM 4.4 (lts) but I do think it still occurs in Civi 4.6 but I haven't tested it.

Might this be another manifestation of https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-12989 ?

Yes, well known.  Some certain tasks are compatible with having several similar tabs open, but others just aren't, for now.
