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.

My vote goes for adding it to the end of the current window in this case.

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.
