How do I fix invisible tabs and forced reloads in Safari 18.4 on Mac with macOS 15.4?

Yesterday I have updated my mac to 15.4 and Safari got updated to 18.4.

Today I have invisible tabs (see screenshot below). Tabs are still there, if I hover with mouse over them I get popup about tab, but I cannot see them and switch to them correctly.

Also in a lot of cases if I leave tab open for some time and do work in other tab and I witch back it force reloads it, losing al my work. This bug is very frustrating and is slowly forcing me to switch to other browser.

Ok found a workaround for now: switch to compact mode

Safari settings -> tabs -> compact mode

It is much worse than separate setting in usage feel, but at least I can see my tabs.

Please Apple next time test things, some of us have more than 200 tabs open :) And it is impossible to find a tab if you don't see them.
