Comment #23 on issue 5278 by [email protected]: Reopen closed tab in its original position http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5278
Here's my thoughts. I freely admit Peter and myself differ on how this should be implemented. You might talk with Glen for his perspective. > Q: What do we do? > A: However we're reopening a tab (NTP, keyboard, menu), put it in the same > window, at > the same position, it came from. > Q: What if the window the tab was in has been closed? > A: Open a new window for it. My vote goes for adding it to the end of the current window in this case. > Q: What if I close two tabs, then close the window they were in, then > reopen > the two > tabs? > A: They'll each end up in a separate, new window. (Ick.) Keeping track of > which tabs a > tab was associated with is more complicated than it's worth. I would only ever restore a tab to the window it was in if the window is the active window. > Q: Should we bring the newly opened tab/window to the front? > A: Probably, since otherwise the action might be completely invisible. Certainly the tab. If you're going to restore to a different window, then you should definitely bring it to the front. Again, I think we should only restore to the active window. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
