Signalr send message to client in multiple tabs

I'm trying to figure out how to send a message to one client that is connected in multiple tabs using SignalR. The problem is when I send the message to the specific client, it only gets to the first tab instead of the current tab of the clients browser.

Here is some of my code:

ChatHub class:

public void SendToSpecific(string name, string message, string to, string chatlog, string chatlogTo, string mType)
    {
        Clients.Caller.broadcastMessage(name, message, chatlogTo, mType);
        Clients.Client(dic[to]).broadcastMessage(name, message, chatlog, mType);
    }

Jquery:

chat = $.connection.chatHub;

Startup.cs:

using Owin;
using Microsoft.Owin;
[assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(testFoundation.Startup))]
namespace testFoundation
{
 public class Startup
 {
     public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
     {
        // Any connection or hub wire up and configuration should go here
        app.MapSignalR();
     }
 }
}

The question is, how can I send the message to the client browser active tab, if he's connected in multiple tabs?

Thanks.

Clients.Client will send to one connection, each tab has its own connection. If you want to send to a specific User use 

Clients.User

Sending to active tabs seem strange? If he switch tab the others wont be up to date?
