After updating from early versions to version: 76.0.4017.177 a terrible problem is still exists - if you have multiple Workspaces (i have abt 200 Tabs total at 6 Workspaces) and you start or restarting Opera, then after switching from the main workspace to any other workspace, you are thrown each time to a different randomly selected Tab instead of starting from last left active Tab.
This is enraging! :(((

@leocg said in Last active tab not remembered when switching workspaces:

@dwing Checked here again and the last active tab is being remembered correctly in each workspace.

I am watching this problem from the very beginning of introduction of multiple Workspaces. And can record a video to demonstrate. Opera may be somewhere remembering but not activating last used Tab when start/re-starting and first time switching from the Main workspace to Another workspace.

And it seems that tabs order are no longer being reversed.

I am not about Tabs loading order at all. This is not a problem.

@dwing As I said in a reply to one of your lots of posts about your pet bug, Opera remembers the correct tab but the tabs are loaded in inverse order when Opera is restarted.

You still do not understand the essence of the problem. When you start/re-start Opera and you switching from Main workspace to Another workspace Opera does not activate the last used Tab. Each time when first switching from Main workspace to another Opera activates different random Tab instead of last used Tab.
And i am not about order of Tab loading which i don't care and let Tabs load order as is. But i am about not activating last used Tab which is terrible.

So if you have tab 1, tab 2, tab 3 and tab 4 and tab 2 is the active one, after the restart the second will still be the active one but tab 3 will be there because now they are in inverse order: tab 4, tab 3, tab 2, tab 1.

Your example is not relevant to the problem. I am talking about that if you have Tab 1, Tab 2, Tab 3,... Tab N, Tab 59 at Workspace 5 and your last active is Tab 59 then if you restart Opera and then return from Main workspace to Workspace 5, Opera will not activate last used Tab 59, it will throw you each time to different random Tab - this is enraging. It should start from/activate last used Tab 59. It would be correct behavior.

@dwing OK, now I guess I could understand the issue. Opera correctly shows the same tab that was selected before in terms of tabs order, but tabs are loaded on inverse order in the workspaces other than the main one.

So, if you had, for example, tab 1, tab 2, tab 3, tab 4 with tab 2 being the active one in workspace 2, when Opera restarts it will show tab 4, tab 3, tab 2, tab 1 and tab 3 will be show as the active tab because it is now the second tab.

When i start or restart Opera and switching from main Workspace to any other Workspace it throw me to randomly selected Tab each time, exactly each time different randomly selected Tab :(((

Hi @dwing: , I can't reproduce this unfortunatelly. When switching Workspaces, Opera takes you to the last active tab in this Worskpace. Have you checked your settings 'On startup'?

@leocg OK. I now have 7 Workspaces and around 100 tabs open on them, and when I close and re-launch Opera it remembers around 1-3 of them correctly.

Dear @palx, could you show anybody from developers the strange behavior of Opera reproduced by you and described in your post here https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2021/04/opera-76-stable/#comment-251122 ?

Please follow-up.

@dwing If the problem can't be reproduced by everyone, then it's not a global, general issue and may depends on specific conditions to be triggered.

The strange and maddening behavior of Opera was simple described above in my two posts here https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2021/04/opera-76-stable/#comment-250811 and here https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2021/04/opera-76-stable/#comment-251051

@palx (thanks a lot to him for his involvement) https://forums.opera.com/uid/314726 understoods what the problem is here in his posts https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2021/04/opera-76-stable/#comment-251060 , here https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2021/04/opera-76-stable/#comment-251118 and reproduced it here https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2021/04/opera-76-stable/#comment-251122

How else can i help?
