Web browser stops working after switching between 3G and Wifi

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

I have noticed this before but put it down to a glitch. Now I realise it's reproducible.

Setup a connection, either wifi or 3g, it doesn't matter, but both have to be available.
Open browser, search google for something to prove you can send/receive data via the web.
Pull down network indicator, toggle the network interface (so if you were on 3g, switch on wifi, if you were on wifi, turn it off)
Back in the browser, click any link on the page, or try and visit a new url.

For me it's broken. I can't use the browser once I switch interface. If I switch back, it works again.

Partially confirmed on my device. After switching the connection, clicking any link on the webpage does not work. Typing in a new url seems to work though.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

It has an easy work-around.

[Andrew M (muka)]

I'm not sure what that work-around is but I want to confirm that I have the same problem. Also typing a ULR, is not working as well.

Marked as fixed release recent improvement seem to of fixed this as a side effect.
