Intercept splash page steals focus when forwarding requests

EmmaJ | Last updated: Nov 24, 2020 01:49PM UTC

When manually stepping through requests in Proxy > Intercept, I typically use a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+F) rather than clicking "Forward" each time. Since the new splash page was added to the Intercept view (with the "Use Burp's Embedded Browser", "Use a different browser", etc), every time I forward a request this splash page is briefly shown before the next request/response is displayed. The splash page steals focus, so after it's appeared and disappeared, I can't use a keyboard shortcut to forward the next request - I have to either click "Forward", or click back into the request to focus on it. Ideally this splash page would only be shown when Burpsuite first loads (I don't really see a need for it between every single request?), but if that's not possible then can we have an option to disable it completely?

Thanks for reporting this. We've replicated the behavior here and raised it with our developers. I've linked this thread so we can post back here when there is an update.

Just a quick update, our developers have found the cause for this behavior and there'll be a fix in the next release. Thank you again for taking the time to contact us about it :)
