Links not opening in Safari iOS 5 GM

[ZBoater]

Im running iOS 5 GM and clicking on links inside of posts opens a new tab but nothing comes on the screen. Oddly clicking on posts in any board works fine, just clicking on a link inside a post, like a link to an article or a YouTube video. Copying the link and pasting it into the address bar takes me to the site as expected.

Any ideas?

I saw this bug in a few betas but it's still present in the GM. The workaround I use is to go back to your previous tab, then the new tab will load in the background. Definitely odd.

Thanks for the workaround! It works!

i noticed this on the iPhone as well.

same here and switching between tabs can get laggy as well. I guess I'm going back to atomic until this is fixed. Safari is awesome otherwise. Very fast and the bookmark bar works great.

Report it as a bug! Apple.com/feedback

I also noticed this.

It must have something to do with the broken "Open new tabs in background" setting. Which if I remember correctly works just as long as you don't ever switch it to off. Once switched, changing it back does nothing.

Yep, tabs are definitely a bit broken in iOS 5 GM. Shame, really.

Unfortunately the GM still as quite a few bugs. Roll on 5.0.1 if the GM build does not change...l

I've got this is my GM...any word on if it's there in the public release?

 

[Gage]

Yeah it is. Bugs the crap out of me.

Can report this is still an issue in the public release (same as GM I know, but just sayin).

REALLY annoying.

*EDIT* I can't seem to reproduce the issue anywhere but macrumors. Anyone else?

 

[WilliamG]

Yep, still there and incredibly annoying. Not sure how on earth this got by the testers, since it's something I encountered with 5 minutes of using iOS 5.

Happened to me with public release.

I found when clicking an external link if I just hold it and manually select open in new tab it works just fine. Definitely sucks though.

 

[Stangs55]

Clicking a different tab and then clicking back fixes it...but this is a silly oversight...

I'm having the same exact issue, though on my iphone 4s. Glad it's not just me.
