Have been using SM for years (thanks, devs), only upgraded from v2.0.14
to 2.3 as a full-install-overwrite last night.
Home page: defined as a group of 4 tabs, all with the BBC (news,
currencies, 2 x weather).
When browser opens, home group opens as normal. If Home Group is
already
open and the Home button clicked, the focused-tab is overwritten with
the first of the replacement group tabs, and the remaining 3 are added
to what's there, so you end up with 7 tabs (3 pairs of duplicates and
one single). This repeats arithmetically each time you click Home. If I
close all but 1 tab and click Home, I end up with just the Home
group of
tabs. It makes no difference whether any of the existing tabs actually
are still on the sites they originally opened up to (go shopping at
Amazon on one, Google maps on another, etc.) all but 1 existing tab
stay
the same. That one is overwritten and 3 more added.
My preference is for tab groups is to 'Replace existing tabs'. I have
toggled this setting to 'Add...', closed SM and started over, then
changed the setting back to 'Replace...', then restarted SM again but
still the same.
Add-on Compat. Reporter 0.8.7 is installed. I have 2 add-ons
relating to
tabs: IE Tab Plus and SeaTab X. Both are as current a version as can be
had; Reporter says IE Tab Plus isn't any good, but SeaTab X is OK. I've
disabled both and restarted SM, still same behavior. Three other
add-ons
are reported by Compat. Reporter as no good with SM 2.3, but disabling
them didn't change anything, either. Other than this one issue, so far
2.3 appears stable.
Thoughts?
I have a group of five tabs for my homepage and just tried clicking on
the browser icon twice from the mail & newsgroup screen. Only ended up
with the one set of tabs.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:6.0) Gecko/20110820

The first time you clicked on the browser icon, it opened your browser
home page group of tabs. If you don't close the browser window but don
try the browser icon again, SM is smart enough not to open a new window,
'cause one's already open. What we're describing as faulty is what
happens when you click on your browser's Home button when tabs are
already open--if your preferences are set for the tab group to REPLACE
what's already open, it still ADDS to what's open, instead. So if you
have the Home group open and then click on Home again, you get
duplicates.
And the SMv 2.3.1 had no effect on this, it's the same since v2.1. But
v2.0.14 doesn't do it.
Sorry, poor explanation on my part!
I was in SM Mail & News, clicked the icon for SM browser, my five site
Home group opened, without closing anything I switched back to Mail &
News and re-clicked the Browser icon.....still just the five sites
showing up.
O.K., so this time I had Mail & News open, clicked on the Browser icon
in the bottom left, Five Sites Home Group opened in the browser. So this
time I clicked on the Browser Icon in the bottom left of the Browser
Screen....and got a second Browser screen with my five tabs.
In Edit->Preferences->Browser->Link Behavior, I've got "Links from other
applications" set to "A new tab in the current window".
Again, the SM suite is working as it's supposed to, near as I can tell.
Mine does the same thing, but your 'Links from other applications'
doesn't apply to the SM browser, calling from inside itself. After all,
there may be a very good reason for you to want to open a new SM browser
window with it's own tabs, separate from anything you're doing in the
first window.
'...other applications...' refers to hyperlinks from, say, MS Word or
Adobe Acrobat or some such. If you have a browser window open, and then
click on a link from a Word doc, does that link open in it's own window,
or does it open in a new tab in the extant browser window? That's what
that preference means. And that behavior has nothing to do with the
original message of this thread.
