Don't retain history when opening a new blank tab (1.49 KB, patch)

Description gbz 2011-06-05 10:58:50 UTC 
It makes a useful feature that the back/fwd history is retained when you open a link in new tab or window. But it should not do that when you simply open a new blank tab. The session history should then be empty.

Don't retain history when opening a new blank tab

When opening a new tab through EphyHomeAction, declare explicitly
that a new tab should be open. When then opening a new link in
EphyWindow with that link being the home page, do not copy history
information if that link is to be open in a new tab.

Thanks for the patch Zan!

I am not fully in support of this bug right now. Perhaps when the overview is done this would make more sense.

Right now, I believe, this is something you come to expect from Epiphany. Every new tab copies the history of the previous tab. Blank tabs can be discussed though.

Ignoring the detail that this should probably be two commits I tend to agree with this now.

We are reviewing the overview for landing now, but with some small tweaks it should be just fine to push this.

OK, I split this and pushed it to master. We do not copy the tab history for new empty tabs anymore.

Thanks!
