Description

The Quarto preview gets stuck on a certain slide URL and keeps jumping back to it when I refresh the web view, even when I manually change the URL to point to a different slide (by changing the #slide-name parameter or by using the slide navigator).

This adds a lot of overhead to previewing slides while editing a slide deck.

Thanks so much for Quarto and the great tooling overall!

Research direction

Reproduce the Quarto preview in a presentation, then inspect the web view, slide navigator, and slide URL handling around refreshes and #slide-name changes. Done means refreshing or selecting another slide no longer redirects to the same unrelated slide.
