GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 113694
epiphany should clone back/forward history on new tab
Last modified: 2005-10-23 22:13:02 UTC
Epiphany clones the current web page on new tab (and I think it does the same on new page). It would be more consistent if it also cloned the content of the back/forward history (galeon can do it if someone want to port its code... ;)

Dave, I guess we need to make a call about new page before this ... Cloning is really slow :/
Marco, upon further thought I don't think the cloning speed is really an issue, since it can't be any slower than loading the users home page (assuming the home page isn't local) i assume. That of course assumes that cloning doesn't block interaction with the rest of the gui (which I don't think it does, though there may be issues with moz stealing focus).
A page full of slashdot comments will probably be much slower to load than google... ;)
On some pages it can take like 10 seconds. Google takes no noticable time (or nearly).
Removing PATCH keyword since the patch doesn't apply to HEAD, and adapting isn't trivial (embed history cloning API went away).
Epiphany 1.2.7 doesn't clone the page on new tab... should this be closed now?
Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
This is fixed in CVS ("backport" from Galeon)
2005-10-12 Philip Langdale <philipl@mail.utexas.edu> * src/ephy-tab.c: (open_link_in_new_tab): Copy the back history when a link is opened in a new tab from a middle-click or a ctrl-click.
Yes, I appear to have fixed this :-)
