Issues with 2 google account logged in chrome

Reported by mmsa...@gmail.com, Dec 1 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.99 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. logged into google plus from first account
2. logged into google plus from second account
3. clicked on a link to a google plus post (from first account)  and it will open in another tab of chrome but goes to the second google plus account

What is the expected behavior?
If I clicked a google plus post link from the first account it should open in that account only 

What went wrong?
logged into google plus from my first account, clicked on a link to a google plus post and it opened in another tab of chrome but in my second google plus account (I had logged into chorme from that account before)

Did this work before? N/A

Unfortunately, this is not handled by Chrome (in the sense that the same would happen in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.) and we cannot fix it.

I am pretty sure that the team at Google that deals with Google authentication is aware of this issue but believe that they don't know how to fix this reliably.

What you can do on Windows is creating to Chrome profiles and thereby separate the two accounts from each other.

Thanks for reporting and sorry for closing as "Won't fix".
