Description

Only happening on Iphone 5 in Chrome: Site: http://asher.kdpreview.com/press

Under White Papers section: When you click on an external link that's going to a pdf (Cape May Point Zoning) then close the new tab and go back to the page and then try to click on an internal link (Working in Avalon), the link's don't work.

Love this plugin, hopefully someone can fix this random bug.

Research direction
Reproduce the bug on an iOS Chrome (iPhone 5 or similar) using the provided URL. Examine the smoothState.js source code, particularly the handling of link clicks (e.g., the 'click' event binding) and how it manages internal vs external links. Check if there is any logic that resets or fails after a tab switch. Look for issues with event listeners or state persistence after the browser tab becomes active again. Consider testing with a minimal reproduction on a local server.
