localStorage is restored when page refreshed?
I'm using a Chrome browser and I noticed something weird on one of our sub-domains. if I clear or change local storage, when I refresh the page, the old settings are restored. I have tried to clear at the command line, via Application > Storage > localStorage and Application > storage (hit clear). Regardless I have no idea how to prevent this or get around this issue. Is this an application setting?

When you 'refresh' a page, you are reloading whatever it contained when you first loaded it.

Hi David, but if I'm changing the localStorage settings that should not be restored. It never worked that way in the past.
Does this happen in more than one browser?
Are you sure that the web page isn't loading the 'local storage' when it loads?

Another strange thing, when using developer tools if I type in "localStorage" at the command line it shows the settings. I'f I look at the local storage under Application > Local Storage it doesn't show any entries.
Is this just a case of retrieving a cached copy of the page. Does holding the CTRL key down when clicking on refresh solve the problem?
Try CTRL + SHIFT + R for reload page for new changes
I'f I look at the local storage under Application > Local Storage it doesn't show any entries.What does your code look like that is accessing localStorage
