1. Create a new html file (test.html) viewable from an iOS device running iOS 8
2. Set HTML data for the file:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="window.open('./test-close.html'); return false;">Open B</button>
</body>
3. Create a second new html file (test-close.html) viewable from an iOS device running iOS 8
4. Set HTML data for the file:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="window.close();">Close</button>
</body>
3. Open test.html in Safari
4. Click the "Open" button
5. Second window opens with a "Close" button
6. Click the "Close" button
The second window should close
The second window does not close
I can reliably reproduce this and this has been reported elsewhere, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25804730/window-close-doesnt-work-on-ios-8-gm-seed
This is not an issue in other iOS browsers besides Safari.
