I looked into chromium’s implementation, and it’s a bit more complex than what I described in the description. Details are in TabStripModelOrderController::DetermineNewSelectedIndex(…)¹.
I think it would be worth identifying what in chromium’s implementation we want to replicate. One thing that wasn’t reported as part of this bug is that when opening background tabs from a given page, they should be placed to the right of the opener, in sequence (i.e. if I open B, C and D as background tabs from A, the order of the tabs should be A-B-C-D, not A-D-C-B as it is currently). This should probably be implemented as part of this bug. ¹ https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/browser/ui/tabs/tab_strip_model_order_controller.cc?l=52 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1664990 Title: Restore focus on parent tab when closing child tab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1664990/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
