Communication site doesn't let me link directly to another communication site search page

I am trying to get both my navigation or even just a quick link to go to a search page on another communication site (or even a subsite of the same one I'm working on). The issue I'm facing is that is doesn't load properly until I either right click and open in a new tab, or refresh the page after it has refused to load.

 

This is an example of the type of link I'm referring to:

    We are currently experiencing a similar bug with linked pages, the content fails to load properly unless the page is either refreshed or opened to another tab. 

     

    Has anyone reported this?

      Same thing is happening here. Seems to happen when moving between pages on a Communication Site (not tried a Team Site) - the page header loads but then it still displays the page content from the previous page. It loads correctly if refreshed or the link is clicked again.

       

      I've raised it with Microsoft and highlighted this discussion topic for their reference - ticket 11182636.

       

      Hopefully they'll resolve it pretty quickly.

    Looks like the context is bugging out again. I had reported this for other items such as Site contents menu's going to the wrong places etc and they all got fixed. Pretty sure Search was one of those that got fixed previousl. I would suggest putting a bug report in. As a work around, use a URL shortener that forwards to the page to cause a refresh on your quick link.

      Thanks for your help Deleted. How do you go about putting in a bug report? I've tried shortening the URL and it works! Thanks
