Safari opening websites on the wrong tab

[T'hain Esh Kelch]

So is this fixed with Safari 10.1 in macOs 10.12.4?

Edit: It appears so. At least it fixed it for me on El Capitan. Yay!

Guys it seems the latest update fixed it.

Well, I'm glad that's over.

Which latest update? Is there a Safari update in 10.12.4? Otherwise, I haven't seen/installed a Safari update in at least a month or two.

Yeah, 10.12.4 comes with Safari 10.1.

Phew! Me too!
I decided to post this because I keep wondering if this thread is going to go on forever.

I've used Mac and Safari for a few years on a MacBook Air and never had this issue, but now with a new MacBook Pro this is driving me crazy.

This is how the bug goes:
-Open new tab, tell Safari to open a website on it
-Switch to another tab I had open (or even create a new tab)
-The website opens on my current tab, instead of the one I originally told it to open on

Has anyone experienced this as well?

Yes. This has been happening to me for a few months now, and it drives me crazy, because I tend to work fast and open multiple tabs at once. If I click to start loading a new webpage, then click over to another tab, it opens in that tab, and then if I click the back button, I can no longer get back to the page I was just on. It literally copies the previous tab's history to the new tab as well. VERY ANNOYING.

Any solution yet to try?

Also hoping for a solution.

I upgraded Safari and it's stopped. Using Safari 10.1 in OSX 10.11.6 El Capitan.

Happened to me (Sierra), so I reverted to 10.11.6.
It's a painful bug! I couldn't stand it, but I've experienced this issue once again in 10.11.6 :|
(But hopefully just once, or maybe it was my fault)

same problem here, I am on 10.11.6 though. LoL

Fixed for me since updating the OS a few days ago.
