Comparison of browser tab context menus. (132.39 KB, image/jpeg)

Description Michael Heyns 2013-06-04 01:50:42 UTC 
Reopen closed tab is functional in the global application menu.

Right-clicking on tabs opens a context menu that presents tab related options.
Would it not be beneficial to have the option included in the context menu of the tabs? 
Other browsers make use of this.
Comment 1 Reinout van Schouwen 2013-06-04 09:58:59 UTC 
That sounds counter-intuitive to me. A context menu option should act on the tab it was invoked on, not on some other tab.
Comment 2 Michael Heyns 2013-06-06 22:37:38 UTC 
"Some other tab" has been closed and therefore cannot be clicked on.

In this case the context menu provides a means of tab management, something Epiphany is lagging behind on.

Please find attached picture as reference.
