1289395 - incorrect tab switching behaviour (order) after reopening a closed tab with CtrlTab previews

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1292049

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect, P3)

Description

[yakov-litvin-public]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.83 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/1.3.544.25

Steps to reproduce:

1. open at least 3 tabs (let's call them A, B, C); I always have many open tabs, so I'm not 100% sure this will work the same way for only 3
2. close tab C
3. reopen it using ctrl+shift+T or other way
4. ctrl+tab back to B
5. alt+tab again


Actual results:

we are switched to the A tab;
if we hold alt in step 4, we can see that C is neither the first nor the second in the alt+tab previews. For multiple open tabs (my case) C is not listed there at all; not sure what will happen if there's just 3 tabs. For multiple tabs, there's no way to get to C via alt+tab at all (except through going to the whole list of tabs)


Expected results:

we are switched to the C tab;
if we hold alt in step 4, we can see C as the first item in the alt+tab previews (we're switching from it, right?)

I can reproduce this but I needed to set browser.ctrlTab.previews=true.

I can't seem to reproduce this (anymore). Jared, can you?
