IE fails to navigate to new site when told to

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 7169

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run internal selenium python program.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected:
For browser to navigate to website on different host.
Actual:
Browser stays on the current website.

How reproducible is the problem?
Problem is reproducible every time.

Selenium version: 2.41.0
OS: Windows 7
Browser: Internet Explorer
Browser version: 11
IEDriverServer version: 2.41.0.0

At the point of failure the code is effectively doing
[stuff on site1]
driver.get("http://site2/")
url = driver.current_url
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "element")))

Looking at url shows we are still on site1 and looking at driver.current_url after
the wait has failed still shows we are on site1 (and IE's address bar is still on site1
too). After the failure has occurred doing
driver.get("http://site2/")
correctly goes to site2.

In the attached log the point at which site2 should be loaded is 2014-04-03 09:46:09:180
 (line 7729).

I am also having this same issue.  When the selenium script tries to run on IE 11, if
fails to go to the URL.
