Description
What is the issue with the HTML Standard?
There is a bug in the navigable's reload procedure.
- reload calls apply the history step.
- apply the history step attempt to populate the history entry's document on step 12.6.7
- 12.6.7 says that completionSteps need to do following: set to queue a global task on the navigation and traversal task source given navigable's active window to run afterDocumentPopulated.
- queued task to run afterDocumentPopulated is never executed because it is queued on navigable's active window which is corresponding to document that is no longer active.
(the document is no longer active because active session history's document got replaced during population of session history entry caused by pending reloading).
