This is unconfirmed bug.

STR_1:
1. Open url [1]
2. Click on button "Go!"
3. In less than 3 seconds click identity block (button before urlbar)
4. Wait 3 seconds

AR:  Identity panel disappears soon after I opened it
ER:  Identity panel shouldn't disappear, unless _user_ himself changed location or closed the panel

> [1] data:text/html,<input id="B" type="button" value="Go!" onclick="D.style.display='inline';B.style.display='none';setTimeout('location.href=`http://example.org`',3000)"><div id="D" style="display:none;">Please wait, you'll be redirected shortly

1. Open url  http://example.org
2. Execute in console  "setTimeout('location.href=`http://example.org/asdf`',3000);"  w/o outer quotes
3. In less than 3 seconds click identity block (button before urlbar)
4. Wait 3 seconds

AR:  Identity panel disappears soon after I opened it
ER:  Identity panel shouldn't disappear, unless _user_ himself changed location or closed the panel


STR_3:  (reference of good behavior; history.pushState and location.hash)
1. Open url  http://example.org
2. Execute in console  "setTimeout('history.pushState(null,null,`asdf`)',3000);"  w/o outer quotes
3. In less than 3 seconds click identity block (button before urlbar)
4. Wait 3 seconds

AR:  Identity panel stays opened, just as expected

It can be frustrating when the site identity panel disappears when the location changes. It can make navigating the web more difficult and can be a source of confusion. Luckily, there are a few ways to help combat this issue. First, mxake sure that the browser you are using is up-to-date. Older versions of browsers may not be compatible with certain websites and can cause the identity panel to disappear. Secondly, check the security settings of your browser. If the security settings are too high, the site identity panel may not appear. Lastly, try using another browser or using a different device. Sometimes the issue can be solved by switching browsers or devices, allowing the identity panel to show up correctly. In the end, it is important to remember that the site identity panel is an important security feature and should always be visible when navigating the web. https://starbuckspartnerhour.com/
