      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Summary

      This problem deals with creating new anchors in Confluence Cloud. When anchors are created using the Table of Contents Macro in Confluence Cloud, it has been observed that some links update the URL in the browser navigator but do not navigate to those links.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Environment:
      • Google Chrome Version 46.0.2490.86 (64-bit)
      • Firefox 42.0
      • Safari Version 9.0 (10601.1.56.2)
      1. Using Document Theme
      2. Create anchors in Confluence using the Table of Contents Macro
      3. Select any of the links

      Expected Results

      It should navigate to the expected link.

      Actual Results

      The links do not work.

      Notes

      Nothing is thrown in the logs or the browser console.
      Only affects Document Theme. Global Look and Feel doesn't have this problem.

      After you click on the anchored link, the URL in the browser will update but nothing will happen. Click on the URL in the browser navigator and click Enter. That will take you to the desired page.

      OR

      Windows - Right Click, or MAC Control+Click, on the link and select open in new tab

      OR

      Update theme to Global Look and Feel

      OR

      Use of Table of Content Zone Macro instead of Table of Contents Macro.
