Quick Links or links to other sites in tenant cause Suite Bar cog to use previous site

If you use a Quick Links web part to link to another site in your tenant. It will add some wierd ?web=1 to the URL and when you click the link, to navigate to another site, the cog wheel 'add an app'...

Haven't gotten much traction on this so did a quick video. I can reproduce this on multiple tenants and a Pretty big bug IMO. Going to try to report to Microsoft.

Mark-Kashman FYI, not sure if I should contact 365 support for this or not, didn't know if you knew about this bug but it's still happening, linking to a site within same tenant the cog for add a page, add an app, site contents will retain previous site's context. Thanks!

      Steve Zhang Noticed today, that the search bar has this same context issue. Navigating from a Site to another site via links without a full page refresh holds the search box context to the previous site. Whatever you guys did to update the Settings cog etc. to use the correct context needs applied to the search box :). Let me know if you have any questions about it!

        Deleted,

        Thanks for reporting this bug to us. I am just back from Chinese New Year holiday. Sorry for the late response. Let me repeat the steps about the bug you find to ensure we are actually talking about exactly the same error

        1. In team site A, on the left top corner search bar, type something and press enter to open the search page of site A. The URL in the browser are like https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/teams/A/_layouts/15/search.aspx/siteall?q=quickchart&s=17592498740021

        2. In site B, paste this URL to the quick links so that we suppose to click on the link to open the same search page with same search result in site A

        3. But actually, when I click on the link in quick links, it open the link but there is nothing in the page.

        4. I press the refresh button of the browser, it shows the right search result in site A

         

        Is it the same error?
