I recently upgraded my ancient Linux OS (Mint 18 to 22) so I could install the latest version of Chrome. Since then, I've begun to encounter browsing issues on certain sites that can only be resolved by disabling scripts globally, or by fully turning off NS. Disabling tab restrictions or temporarily trusting all scripts doesn't help.
Here are a couple of examples of the most common issues. Hopefully you can reproduce...
1. When certain pages are initially loaded, one or more buttons don't work, but always work when I reload the page.
example: the "Load more" button at bottom of feed at this site: https://myheraldreview.com/news
Note: to reproduce, select "Set all on this page to temporarily trusted" then close the tab and reload. The 'load more' button still won't work until you reload without closing. Disabling tab restrictions won't demonstrate this issue since it auto-reloads the page, which resolves the issue but only because the page is reloaded.
2. When using a site's embedded search engine, the results page is blank, but always loads properly when I reload the results page.
example: searches for AHRI reference # in upper left side search box at this site: https://ahridirectory.org
NOTE: to reproduce, simply enter a valid reference # (e.g., 216440330). The results page will be blank. Reloading results page will clear the issue. Then repeat with tab restrictions disabled, or all scripts temporarily trusted. Same result.
Similar issues occur on maybe a dozens sites I frequent, so I'm constantly having to reload certain pages.
(Edited for clarity and accuracy after further testing. I'm running NS v13.5.10.)

Re: after OS, Chrome upgrade, experiencing odd issue with NS
Not understanding how this is different from expected behavior? It sounds like you're loading a page, doing something that requires active content, setting needed sites to (Temp.) TRUSTED in NoScript, then *not* reloading the page after making the changes to NoScript permissions? Changing NoScript permissions requires reloading the page to apply the new permissions.
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
