[GitHub] [cordova-plugin-inappbrowser] lifeontime opened a new issue, #965: Opening a _blank window from a _blank window destroys the first window

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

lifeontime opened a new issue, #965:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/issues/965

   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   I use an IAB instance to load my site into a Cordova webview in a _blank window so I can catch calls to window.open and replace them with cordova.InAppBrowser.open. This works fine the first time, however when the new window loads (also _blank) the first IAB instance seemingly gets destroyed (after inspecting, it is actually set to about:blank).
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   The first IAB instance should load the second and still exist when the second instance is closed.
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   The first IAB instance loads the second but seemingly gets destroyed in the process.
