I think we all agree that it’s desirable to have a proper capture of the page. What Bill is suggesting is a temporary stop-gap measure to buy us time until we can implement a proper solution (which unfortunately is technically hard). Some sort of "default thumbnail" for tab previews, maybe using th

I see. Unfortunately, I believe a default graphic is not good enough. What if the first letters of the page title are not really meaningful? How can I remember what was inside the tab? On Mon, Aug 18, 2014 at 4:31 PM, Olivier Tilloy < olivier.til...@canonical.com> wrote: > That’s not the issue.

Until we can support persisting the image, I'd suggest some placeholder text like "Click to open tab" and possibly a default background image such that it's not just a blank tab. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://

Unfortunately this is not a simple problem. We’re currently using a ShaderEffectSource item to capture the contents of a webview and display a paused thumbnail. This works well while the webview is live and has been shown at least once. But when the app is restored after being killed, only the curr
