returning to the new tab before it has finished loading, the URL bar contains
about:blank, rather than the URL that was just entered (the one that's loading).

1. open a new tab
2. type a URL in the URL bar
3. quickly change to a different tab
4. quickly change back to the new tab (before it finished loading)

reproducible?: yes, always
