Site hangs if page load interrupted

Hi all

This is a strange problem. We have an ASP.NET MVC application. We have a problem where if you close a page before it has finished loading, then it is impossible to get in to the application again without closing all your browser windows. So, this is the sequence of events:

Load application - everything works fine
Load a page - while it is loading close the browser/tab
Open a new tab and browse to application -> nothing loads
Close all open browsers (e.g. Chrome)
Reload browser
Navigate to application -> works ok.

Has anyone seen this before?
If I press the pause button on the debugger while the page is loading it just tells me nothing is executing. I occasionally get something like below where it looks like a task is awaiting a scheduled task, but this is all in Microsoft code.

Any thoughts where I can start looking?

Thanks

Can you share what are the controls you are using and how many records you are accessing when the page loads? This could be also due to number of records you are accessing and page is waiting for records to be fetched and the process is getting terminated on load interruption.

Have you tried in any other browser apart from Chrome? Do you see same behaviour?
