Description René Stadler 2006-05-05 14:03:50 UTC 
In a tab or window with history (where you can "go back"), open a link in a new tab by selecting "Open in new tab" from the context menu of a link.  The resulting new tab has no history associated (cannot "go back").  The same happpens when opening in a new window.

On the contrary, opening a link with a middle mouse click or Ctrl+left-click results in the new tab having a history.

So the functionality is already there, a simple patch follows that seems to fix this little inconsistency.

Simple fix attempt

Just copied over the call to ephy_embed_shistory_copy () from ephy-tab.c:open_link_in_new () to ephy-shell.c:ephy_shell_new_tab_full ().  Seems to fix the issue (for both new tabs and windows).

Applies cleanly to 2.14.1 and CVS HEAD.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2006-05-11 13:08:31 UTC 
Thanks for the patch!

Phil: was there a reason you didn't add it in ephy-shell originally when you added the session history copying? (I can't remember.)
Comment 3 Philip Langdale 2006-05-11 14:50:47 UTC 
No, I probably just forgot to handle this case. Patch looks fine.
Comment 4 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-06-08 10:13:24 UTC 
Fixed in HEAD.

    * src/ephy-shell.c: (ephy_shell_new_tab_full): copy
    history over when opening link in new tab/win using
    context menu. Fixes bug #340742, patch by René Stadler.


Chpe, can you apply this to gnome-2-14 if you decide it should go there too?
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2006-06-08 19:30:27 UTC 
Ok to commit to gnome-2-14 .
