MAC safari in Tahoe returns to top of the page

MAC safari in Tahoe returns to top of the page when switching apps or tabs instead of staying in the same place. This is very disconcerting when researching various articles as it requires me to scroll down to find where I was before. Anyone have a fix. Apple support suggested I clear my cookies and cache which did not work.


MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.1

Well, I am somewhat embarrassed. To answer your questions, I do not have any extensions installed and it happened on most webpages, however as a septuagenarian I got lazy and skipped some basic trouble shooting steps. In short, my son ( who is a IT Director) watched what I did and noticed that I double clicked (two fingers down) when I switched windows and triggered a reload off the double click menu. A simple modification of the double click location from two fingers anywhere to the lower right hand corner stopped it from happening.


It remains to be seen how long it will take me to train myself, but pages are not reloading.
