New window/tab always opens "about:blank" bug

[Dreossk]

I create this thread to make the search easy for new people. This is a bug that appears in many threads in the "Avant Browser Confirmed Bugs" section as the source for other bugs.

When the "New window" option is set to "Open home page in a new window" (other options work fine), the opening of a new window (ctrl+n, ctrl+n or mouse gesture) will generate the home page BUT the address bar will show "about:blank". As I said, this bug leads to other bugs like "focus lost bug", "can't scroll down bug", "can't type in textarea bug", "the active tab always revert to the last one bug" and maybe a lot more. The current way to fix this is to click on the address bar and press "Enter" but then the "about:blank" page will load so we have to press our "Home" button in Avant to go back the the Home Page so we lose time. This makes that set of option useless and the browser unusable.

We are waiting for a fix for months and it was working fine many versions ago.

Any news ? This bug makes the browser a pain in the **** to use and there is still dozens of threads a week about that.

Hello,
That seems to be fixed in the latest beta version of Avant Browser (Well, At least I don't get it here.)

[Dreossk]

Great so it means that in the next public version it will be fixed ?

[adli89]

Probably so

[addonsfan]

if you do not mind, can you please update to the latest beta version to see if it is fixed? (what you're talking about)

[Dreossk]

I don't see any link to download the beta version in the download section.

[Crs]

Here is the link for download AB 11.4

((Avant Browser 11.4 Beta))

[Dreossk]

So 11.4 Beta is newer than 11.5 ?

So 11.4 Beta is newer than 11.5 ?

He meant 11.6 build 4

[Crs]

I missed the num 6

((Avant Browser 11.6 b04 BETA))

[Dreossk]

It works thanks ! That link should be on Avant Browser official website...

[André]

I disagree. 11.6 Beta 4 is only a build intended for testing and could contain severe bugs. It is not intended for wide spread use.

My release says "Build" and I think it is on the Chinese home page.

[addonsfan]

actually, I never noticed that... and I can't find "beta" anywhere on mine. it was an official release that no one ever noticed?

[Dreossk]

Maybe no one noticed because it's not even on the website...

It is here.

People won't go to a forum to download something when it is supposed to be in the "download" section.
