- open a new tab
- type a long domain/url (manual entry)
- pull down to refresh while it’s still in early load (dns resolving, waiting, etc.)
expected: refresh should continue loading the same url you just typed
actual: the load is aborted, the typed url disappears, and you’re dumped into a fresh blank tab. your painstakingly typed address? gone. rip.
impact: high irritation, esp. when typing urls by hand (travel wifi, dev sites, etc.). feels like the browser actively punishes impatience.
