Comment #26 on issue 5278 by [email protected]: Reopen closed tab in its  
original position
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5278

Re #25: Those two pieces are both pretty uncontroversial. The pending  
question is
what to do when the window a tab was in has since been closed. Does that  
come up a
lot? I undo-closed-tab a lot, but I hardly ever have more than one window  
open, so
I'm not a good example.

Putting it at the end of the current window is definitely simpler (not that  
either
way is impossible), and in some ways less jarring. I'll start with that  
today, and
leave the question open for now. It shouldn't be hard to switch.

Re #24: I'm actually one of the stronger supporters of "let's make it an  
option", but
it's important to recognize that configurable options are not without cost.  
There's
obviously development, testing, and maintenance cost, which seems small for  
any one
option but adds up in the long run. But there's also a cost to the user, in  
scrolling
through, understanding, and making decisions about lots of things that they  
don't
really care about. So it's worth considering each possible option  
carefully, and
choosing the ones that will make the most difference and be used by the  
most people.
I don't think this is one of those cases.
