Description

🐞 bug report

State sharing between instances

✍️ Description

When using two independent instances of the app they share some data and inputs. When scrolling a page on one app, the other gets scrolled simultaneously. Going back and forward in history is also shared across apps as the taps on the page.

🕵🏼‍♂️ Is this a regression?

No. 1.4.0 has a similar issue

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

  1. Open one app with a page
  2. Open the second app with a page
  3. Scroll on the first app
  4. The page on the second app is getting scrolled as well

🌍 Your Environment

Ctrl + F1 doesn't work

System: Ubuntu 22.04 App version: 1.5.0.AppImage

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how multiple instances of the app share state, possibly through IPC or global variables. Check the event bus or shared storage that might cause scroll and history synchronization between windows.
