    We use ISPConfig, but have one but we face one major challenge: not being able to work with multiple tabs.

    This prevents us from rolling out the product from our test environment to our production environment. Is this a feature on the roadmap? We've already encountered corrupt configurations a few times, just by quickly checking how it's configured at another customer's site.

    The user sessions are cookie-based for security reasons. We do not plan to lower the security level to allow multiple user sessions to be opened in the same browser by encoding them into the URL only.

    If you want to have multiple users logged in simultaneously from your PC, then you must either use a browser mode that does not share cookies with other Windows, like the Incognito mode, or use different browsers.

    I think @GKOKE means one logged in user and multiple ISPC tabs spread over multiple browser tabs.
    I've ran into the same problem in the past. ISPC can't handle that.

    Example:
    You open dns records of domain A in browser tab 1 and dns records of domain B in browser tab 2.
    Go back to browser tab 1 and add an A record.
    The record is added to domain A but after adding it you're presented with the records of domain B.
    Because those where opened last on browser tab 2, before you added a record in browser tab 1.

    There is various data stored in the session including the currently opened form.

    So my conclusion is now officially confirmed and I think that is what @GKOKE is running into.
