Summary 0002034: Clone tab support
Revision 2013-12-20 22:42 by Vincent Sanders
Description I use AmigaOS 4.1 and NetSurf 2.7 Revision 11703

I notice a strange bahaviour using NetSurf's tabs, if you open a new tab that isn't related to the previews one (for example opening a new "blank" tab and then typing an address manually) the left arrow in toolbar permit to turn back as the page in tab opened was "linked" to the first one
 
I think that the normal behavoiur should be that each tab should have it's own history *only* rathen then share the history with the other tabs opened (the first tab in this case)
 
How to test:
 
- Open NetSurf
Now the first page is www.netsurf-browser.org/welcome
 
Naturally in this first page the left and right arrows in toolbar are correctly ghosted
 
- Then now open a new blank tab from WB menu or with the addtab button
Now if you go in this second tab you can see the same default page (www.netsurf-browser.org/welcome) but with the left arrow active, so it seems that this new page is linked in certain term with the first tab, but it's not or would not !
 
About this i receive a note from the AmigaOS4 mantainer:

>>>
to create a tab you have to have a "clone"
window (so the frontend knows where the tab needs to be created). There's
no way of telling the core that this is a completely new tab which needs
new history. I'll have to check the gtk version, but I suspect that has
the same problem.
>>>

Is it possible to support such feature in the future release ?
