to reproduce it conveniently, you can disable page caching by adding response head "Cache-Control: no-store" in http server.
Then you can just refresh page for 2.html, the reloading will happen.

Hi Rex!

I am not that familiar with these kind of issues so I am setting the Core::Disability Access APIs Component, maybe someone from it can help.

This isn't related to disability access APIs. That said, single process mode is no longer supported, so I'm closing this as wontfix.
