Public bug reported: (follow-up to https://code.launchpad.net/~fboucault/webbrowser- app/background_open_tabs_adjacent/+merge/316226)
In chromium on desktop, when opening a link in a new tab (for instance when Ctrl+clicking on a hyperlink), the new tab is open next to the parent tab. When closing that child tab, the parent tab is the one that becomes current. In webbrowser-app, when closing the child tab, the next one in the list becomes current. It would be nice if webbrowser-app implemented the same behaviour as chromium. Steps to reproduce: 1) Start webbrowser-app, and open two tabs, e.g. http://example.org and http://start.ubuntu.com 2) Focus the first tab (example.org) and right click on the "More information…" link (this opens a new tab in second position and focuses it 3) Press Ctrl+W to close the current tab Expected result: the first tab (example.org) is the one that gets focused. Actual result: the second tab (start.ubuntu.com) is the one that gets focused. ** Affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Florian Boucault (fboucault) Status: Triaged ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Florian Boucault (fboucault) ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Apps bug tracking, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1664990 Title: Restore focus on parent tab when closing child tab Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: (follow-up to https://code.launchpad.net/~fboucault/webbrowser- app/background_open_tabs_adjacent/+merge/316226) In chromium on desktop, when opening a link in a new tab (for instance when Ctrl+clicking on a hyperlink), the new tab is open next to the parent tab.
