OK, I double checked and it still happens.. I am now running:
Version 11.0.39rc5
Last Updated August 19, 2020
I checked the log [I didn't even know there was an error log!] and it reported:
Content Security Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at inline (“script-src”).
Oops. I just put .36 back and the little html file I am testing with loaded with no problem and it threw the same error [about script-src] so that wasn't the cause of the looping. that was the *only* error with .36. Lemme double check with 39rc5
AHA.. in addition to the security policy error, 39rc5 reports:
The page was reloaded, because the character encoding declaration of the HTML document was not found when prescanning the first 1024 bytes of the file. The encoding declaration needs to be moved to be within the first 1024 bytes of the file.
.36 doesn't do the "reloaded" thing, which I guess is what is causing the looping. I looked at the HTML and there is no character encoding declaration anywhere in the file I don't see a way to upload a file to this board, but here is an HTML that makes it loop [NB: as I've said it isn't specific to this file -- it was happening with EVERY file:// i tried opening... this is just a mostly-very-simple one I edited up to try to debug with
