Opened my Linkedin homepage on new Window (call Tab1)

Rightclick-Open-in-new-tab from Linkedin showing a specific article (call Tab2) example: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/critical-habits-profoundly-influential-people-dr-travis-bradberry Rightclick-Open-in-new-tab from Linkedin showing another article (call Tab3) example: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/doing-internet-things-right-lee-naik?trk=hp-feed-article-title-channel-add

Switched to Tab2, selected Reader view OK Switched to Tab3, selected Reader view -> got the Title text displayed from Tab3 OK 

 .. but  the Text below it was actually the text from Tab2!

Seems like a bug to me, no idea how I could have caused this myself ??

Thanks & Regards

Olaf

Observation added: LinkedIn dynamically adds content below the content that you are actually reading while you scroll down. This additional content may well match an article that was read earlier. In the posted case, maybe Reader view did not actually pick up the earlier tab but the content that was dynamically loaded below the original content.
