Summary:
Tabs misbehave when opening repeated links.
Reproducible:
Always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Paste a link in a tab
(if using the home page link [1], one may simply copy it and skip to 3);
2. Press Enter;
3. Create a new tab;
4. Paste link used in 1 into the new tab address;
5. Press Enter.
Expected results:
New tab opens pasted link.
Actual results:
Previous tab is selected. No navigation is performed in new tab.
Additional Information:
By the experienced behavior suggests that tab manager uses URI as
unique identifier. This may not be a good approach for several
reasons:
* One may open same link to perform later processing (for example,
for navigating to a children page afterwards);
* Often, same URIs correspond to different content (in session-based
navigation and other non-REST approaches);
* One may simply want to open same link twice (why not?).
