I just noticed (again) that link previews on (only?) old posts are sometimes broken, e. g. when I open this in a new window/tab. At first I suspected it’s something about the old link formats but more testing made me more and more confused, and now it seems more and more again like maybe that is relevant?
Opening a link of the form /s/.../p/... in a new window/tab (i.e. not in an existing LW context) always(? - ~10 tests done) breaks the previews on links in the text, and they don’t get the ° decoration. (Tags, pingbacks etc. still work.) The same seems to sometimes also break /posts/.../..., but sometimes not? (Very weakly tested hypothesis: It breaks very old posts that still use the old /lw/XX/... link format?)
Opening the same article in an existing tab (by following an internal link) correctly goes through the text, adds the °s and then previews work.
Can someone reproduce this? Is this a bug with timing or initialization order or something like that?
My comment here links to one post and two sequences, and only the post got a preview. But I don’t know if the sequence summary pages ever got previews.
