This is odd one, I was troubleshooting for 3 days.

Only happening in Chrome Version 53.0.2785.116 m (64-bit) on Windows.

Web server must have header set (meta tag doesn't work in this case):

Apache's .htaccess: Header set Cache-Control "no-cache" or nginx: add_header Cache-Control no-cache;

You can't recreate it using jsfiddle or built-in code snippet, because css file must be loaded separately using <link href='style.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>. (but I will include code in snippet anyways).

Thanks.

P.S. There is another way or recreating it (that's why I mentioned 'new window' in my Title: Visit same page, reload it, right click -> Inspect (new Development Tools window opens), switch back to the page (repeat if not able to recreate).

We are seeing this as well - seems like this should be a higher priority issue.

The same problem with iframes

Comment 5 by jason.we...@hpe.com, Sep 20 2016

Agreed, it should be a much higher priority.

We are seeing this as well in a widely rolled-out embedded application.  In our case our navigation control is hidden (app is essentially broken).  We are seeing it in frames such as described in this issue here:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=645119

This case does supply a reproduction URI:

NOTE: you normally need to hit the refresh button on this example after you load the page to reproduce the issue.

Sounds identical to 647151. Looks like it's been fixed but not yet merged to the stable channel.

This bug prevent to use a second tab in our big web based school administration software. We can't wait for a fix in the december realease 55.x. We need a hot fix or a work around.

Comment 8 Deleted

Agreed, with Comment 7 - this is affecting a large rollout of our secured administration system.  Please can this be escalated to a hot fix.

Comment 11 Deleted

It is ridiculous how long it is taking to release the fix. This should have been applied as a hotfix to the current stable build and merged into other builds. It should not have been done in an unstable code base that couldn't be released until weeks later. This issue is BREAKING web applications for many businesses and ruining the general user experience for many individuals as well.
I'm also struggling with this issue since the last update and waiting for the hotfix as soon as possible.
