LiveView falls back to longpoll after dev server restart

I’ve noticed that when I kill and restart the Phoenix dev server, all existing browser tabs with a LiveView reconnect back to the server using longpoll (and stick to using longpoll). If I open a new tab, the LiveView connects using websocket.

I can’t say I’ve noticed this before, and I’m not sure if this is expected behaviour or something I’ve tweaked and set up wrong?

This snippet may help (it disables the fallback altogether in the dev env):

let liveSocket = new LiveSocket("/live", Socket, {
  longPollFallbackMs: window.location.host.startsWith("localhost")
    ? undefined
    : 3000,
    ...
})
