This is a hard one to describe and also reproduce. Once in a while, probably a few times a day, I will have a tab open on a website that stops responding to input, as in, I can't type anything in forms, I can't scroll up or down on the site, etc.

HOWEVER, if I switch to another tab and back again, whatever actions I took did actually happen. I just can see them happen as I do them.

Tried to record an example of this happening just. It doesn't seem to be associated with any specific site.

    DanielN Hi Daniel

    • Please use the latest RC
    • Can you try reproducing it in a new orion profile with no extensions (to rule them out)

      I’ve been experiencing this bug since a few months ago and have been meaning to file this bug for a while. I’ll upload a video when I get a chance.

      It seems like the page renderer freezes or fails to redraw sometimes. Whenever I get into this state, if I click anywhere on the browser chrome that’ll generally get the page renderer to redraw. For example, if I have this issue and I scroll, nothing will change, but if I click on the browser chrome the page will jump to the new scrolled position.

        Vlad I finally managed to reproduce this in a fresh profile with no extensions (Orion RC 0.99.126.4.1.10-rc). It's exactly the same behavior and it seems to be connected to a large volume of errors in the console.

        +1 for me. On new RC. No extensions. Seems to happen on any website but I notice regularly on Google sheets, gmail, and hubspot. Reload page without cache doesn't fix it. It reloads but stays unresponsive. Only solution I can find is to copy/paste the URL into a new tab. This is especially annoying when it happens on a pinned tab.

        (Thanks to @DanielN for noting that switching away and back updates the page.)

          +1 here too. No extensions. Happens often on Facebook Marketplace.

            Merged 8 posts from Tabs (sort of) unresponsive.

              @Vlad this happens very frequently for me now but can't pinpoint a clear steps to reproduce; happy to join a video session to share my screen if useful.

              Almost got a sure reproducible scenario now:

              1) open fresh profile, no extensions
              2) open https://orionfeedback.org
              3) cmd+T (new tab)
              4) open https://youtube.com
              5) click e.g. "Trending" to get some videos showing
              6) scroll down a bit
              7) cmd+1 back to orionfeedback.org
              8) cmd+2 back to youtube.com (now unresponsive)

              You might need to switch back and forth between the two taps more than once, but for me, the youtube tab becomes unresponsive within 1-2 tries, every time.

              (on RC 0.99.127.1-rc)

                DanielN Can confirm - I was able to replicate with these steps

                  DanielN I was also able to reproduce it with these steps, though in my case after switching tabs I had to click and move around a bit on YouTube before it froze.

                    Vlad As mentioned i see this most often in new tabs like eBay for example or something that'll prompt a new tab/popup. Not sure if this helps and yes I used a new profile/compatbility mode

                      DanielN I hate to be that guy but I can't seem to replicate with these steps. I'm on a clean profile, no extensions, and in compatibility mode. Can you share a screen capture of your method?

                        it seems to require scrolling on the tab to be frozen, but it happens 99% of the times for me:

                          Can replicate it - Hope the solution to this will come ASAP

                            @orionlover @DanielN @jbergstroem @CyberArchon can you please share little more details?

                            • Is the issue started only after 126.4.1.4 release?
                            • Can you try disabling GPU Process: DOM Rendering from Experimental Features and relaunch Orion and try reproducing same?
