During this time, however, I still get the hand cursor when pointing to links, suggested they can be interacted with. While a page is still displayed, one should be able to interact with it as normal. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Visit news.google.co.uk (or any page) 2.Click a link, to open in the current tab 3.Middle-click other links, to open in other tabs Actual Results: After a while, the links stop responding, even though the current page is still displayed, and the first link has yet to load in its tab. Expected Results: Links should continue to function normally, until the new page loads As a workaround, if this can't be implemented, the page should be blanked once links become non-functional, to indicate this.
