Websites not clickable (tab freeze/lock)
Right after I commented it happened again - it was on a random local businesses website this time. I can also confirm that the only way to clear the issue is to close the tab and open a new tab. No amount of refreshing will clear it.
atgranted Yeah, I've figured out just closing the tab and reopening with command-shift-t will make it become clickable again.
I've also seen this issue. Seems like a daily occurrence. Whats interesting is I can tab things and that works fine! I mainly notice it on login forms.
I noticed this too while on Twitter. The only solution was to close the tab and open again - but that also didn't work 100% of the time.
I've also had this issue with zero ability to reliably reproduce.
@rosenrot @atgranted @SerViette @Megabits @laiz @jyc @whitemamba @ConstantinTheis @oxi_moron @Areatius @iGifted @mojolobo can anyone please share webcontent process sample of frozen tab from Activity Monitor when this happens? Will be helpfull to debug the issue
Will do next time this happens.

dino It happened again. I moved the "locked" tab over to a new screen to do a screen capture and capture the process sample. In moving the tab to a new Orion RC window, it cleared the issue of not being able to click links.
Unfortunately I missed capturing the sample you want but I don't think anyone has reported that moving the tab to a new window clears the issue. Maybe that will help.
I'll try again.
Edit: Right after posting this, the same tab locked up again. I was able to capture the process sample. What's curious is that once the sampling completed, the tab "unlocked" and redirected to the link I was attempting to click in the first place. Not sure if that was just a fluke or not.
Fixed for me in latest RC.
I’m still seeing it In the latest RC
Vlad I sent web content process details to Dino via PM in Discord. Happy to provide more if needed. I'm seeing it quite regularly especially in O365 / sharepoint web pages.

I've tried to discern any patterns or triggers for this problem but I can't. The only thing in common is that it only occurs when I come back to a tab from another, or from another app or another space. It never happens when the tab is the active tab and Orion has focus.
It's by far the worst bug in Orion for me, happening multiple times a day, sometimes causing me to lose work on forms and forums and the likes. I really hope it gets prioritised soon. I'd highly recommend not releasing the next beta until it's fixed at the least.
It seems in the current 0.99.126.4.1.10-rc (WebKit 619.1.1) version, this bug no longer happens to me again.
Vlad Can confirm it happens on a new clean profile with no extensions. Been running a clean profile today and Discord just froze up on me, same way it does on my regular profile. Only one other tab open at the time. Seems to happen most often on sites with lots of vertical scrolling, like Discord, Youtube, Facebook, etc.
