Hi Michael, I am using GTK front-end, but most of the code I am talking about is in subsystem desktop. So I assume that the issue is universal.
On File->New_tab Netsurf optionally either copies new tab or opens a blank one. The history is copied in both cases. I guess it can be argued that the history needs to be preserved in the former case but not in the later.
