Re-open closed tabs should include history

[echosa]

Did you search for similar issues before submitting this one?
Yes

Describe the issue you encountered:
When I reopen the last closed tab, it opens and loads the page it was on. However, any history for that tab is lost. Once I reopen the last closed tab, I'm unable to use its back button go to back to previous pages viewed in that tab prior to closing it. Safari does this, and it is a very nice and convenient feature.

Expected behavior:
I expect to be able to reopen the last closed tab and not only see the page it was on when it was closed but also be able to traverse the tab's history with the back button.

• Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?):
  OS X 10.11.5
• Brave Version:
  0.11.1
• Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open a tab in Brave.
  2. Visit a few pages.
  3. Close the tab.
  4. Reopen the tab with the "Reopen Last Closed Tab" action.
  5. Note that you can't use the back button.

Adding my +1 to this, and adding that this actually impacts my workflow quite a lot. Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all support restoring tab history on reopening the tab.

Retaining history is missing not only when reopening a tab with Command-shift-t but also when reopeing the browser, for example, after an upgrade.

+1 from https://community.brave.com/t/all-tab-history-lost-after-brave-restarts/7840?u=suguru which is slightly different (tab history restore after restart is suggested there)

CC @zentagonist for setting a milestone.

This has happened to me repeatedly - browser updates and I lose all tabs and history

[luixxiul]

You mean tabs are lost or(and) tabs' histories are lost?

I'm a new user of Brave and I have the same problem.
Any progress? I see that this case is open since 2016. will there be any attempts to fix this problem, or should I stop using Brave?

[bsclifton]

Hey there folks!

This is a feature that will be solved when we transition from Muon (our current architecture) to our new Chromium fork, Brave Core. If you've got a development environment setup, you can download/build the project now (no official builds yet):
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser

You can read more about this on our blog:
https://brave.com/development-plans-for-upcoming-release/

Stay tuned 😄

Closing as wontfix (for browser-laptop) since this is fixed with Brave Core (coming soon!)
