I want that too!

@leocg Well, it is indeed my interpretation and the interpretation of many others' too

A tab is not only a control element of a GUI, but it's also a container for – in case of a web browser – the page and its properties, like: it's back and forward history, per tab zoom, etc.

That's why I added this suggestion.

@leocg No, reopening a tab in a web browser means that you can go back and forward through the tab history. In current state only the last page gets reopened, which is different.

At least if it would say clearly what it does, I wouldn't be negatively surprised nor angry every time I need to reopen a tab.

Hi, the "Reopen closed tab" menu option should be renamed to "Reopen closed page".

Because history of the tab is not preserved, it's in fact only the last page that gets reopened. Current function name causes a lot of confusion.

Thanks,

Thank you for restoring the old behaviour! We can now open a new tab and choose a page from the Speed Dial.

This reminds me a blog post of one of Opera employees on the My Opera portal, back in the days, about the alternative revenue streams for reimplementing functions removed from the browser.

Finally - the tab count shows the real number of tabs opened now.

@operamilleson I would prefer it to be like it always was. If you though prefer to keep it as it is now, I would suggest not to show the start page as a tab, but instead have it full screen all the time and be able to pull the screen to the left to see SD, just like when we switch between the normal and private tabs' list.

I hope you can consider this suggestion.

The solution is to press the home button instead of the new tab button! It will open SD and when you select a page, it will get opened in a new tab and not in the current one.

@schtekaren Oh, now I understood! So the home button works simply quite like a new tab button! Thank you for the explanation. I was really sure that it would open speed dial in the current tab.

@operamilleson If you want to know something about my interaction with the browser - I was opening a new tab, where I wanted to see the speed dial, but it was not there, so I was pressing the back button, then the tab got closed, then I was going back to the tab list, moving to the leftmost one to see my speed dial and then I could open my page. So it was a very slow dial, as it was so unintuitive for me.

In my opinion, you should just add a new tab button in place of the home button and SD should always appear in this new tab. It's no use for me to have this static page that lets me think that I have more left to read than I have in reality.
