Clearing history inactivates reload button on old and new tabs
Last modified: 2017-09-29 15:54:03 UTC
Hi, I noticed that if you have few tabs open and clear history, reload button on any of those tabs is inactive, as well as on newly opened tabs after clearing history. Steps to reproduce: Open epiphany, have few tabs open, go to AppMenu (Web) -> History -> Clear all. After this action reload button is inactive for all tabs, even if you open a new tab and load some url, it remains inactive. I did put this bug in general component since I'm not sure is it directly related to history. Versions of epiphany, webkitgtk and gtk used: epiphany-3.26.0-1.fc27.x86_64 webkitgtk4-2.18.0-2.fc27.x86_64 gtk3-3.22.21-1.fc27.x86_64
The following fix has been pushed: 643b6f6 header-bar: Don't disable navigation actions when history is cleared
Created attachment 360676 [details] [review] header-bar: Don't disable navigation actions when history is cleared There's no reason to do this. The history service is not needed for the back/forward list to work properly, so no reason to disable back/forward after clearing history. And it's disabling the stop/reload action, too, which doesn't make any sense. Especially since there is no code to ever enable it again.
