So you're saying you actually close windows accidentally? Ok, hrm. I guess I don't do that :) I usually close windows on purpose, but there is some individual tab in that window that I later realize I didn't mean to close. So the current "recently closed tabs" feature works for me, except for the fact that it doesn't seem to show more than a few recently closed tabs. > Even with session restore inable, with our current UI there's a > relatively common case where accidentally closing a window can mess > you up. 90% of the time, I'm using Chrome in one window.

Yeah, I don't like our current implementation of session restore for this reason; it isn't really compatible with using multiple windows.

Even though I know about it, I frequently forget. - a --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-dev" group.
