Description Adam Dingle 2013-05-02 19:12:14 UTC 
To see the problem:

1. Open a tab and follow a few links so that right clicking the back button will list a few URLs.
2. Close the tab.
3. Choose Reopen Closed Tab.  The tab is restored, but the back button is disabled: the list of previously visited URLs has not been restored.

Maybe this is a duplicate of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119432 ?

I can tell you that the origin of this bug is that Webkit2(Gtk?) doesn't offer an API to populate the history of previously visited URLs. I don't have a link to the bug report, but I'm sure it exists.

Until that issue is fixed there, this feature can't be implemented.

Let's keep #119432 open as a separate bug; it's related but different.
