 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Open Tor Browser.
 2. Visit https://documents.tips/
 3. You'll be hit with a "Secure Connection Failed" error page.
 4. Click on Torbutton > "New Tor circuit for this site".
 5. Circuit stays the same.

 Not sure if this is intentional behavior (In this example it's because the
 certificate has been revoked, but in other cases changing the exit may
 solve the problem with some other errors - I can give an example if that's
 necessary).
