Kamil, I'm missing a vital piece of information from your STR: How are you trying to restore the tabs from the normal window? Which method are you using?

I am using "Restore previous session" from Preferences->General.
Really sorry for late reply

I'm filing this under the reliability-tracking work to possibly be picked up when we're actively working on that theme. Doesn't seem like a blocker or critical issue.
