178511 - Ctrl-T / Ctrl-N inconsistent & curious: Ctrl-T doesn't copy state

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[R.K.]

Ctrl-T creates only a empty page, which is boring. You want to fork browsing!

Ctrl-N does it right in principle by copying state. 
But: when I ctr-N _from_ Tab Browsing not the current tab is copied but randomly
another tabs content instead (or the most right tabs content?)
And: Ctrl-N doesn't copy the history state (back-button) which is not nice cause
I have not a symmetric forking. I often want to fork off a new browser in order
to save full state and go for new adventures in the current browser.
(In fact symmetric forking was often a reason for me to use IE in NS4.x times)

This is wrong. Ctrl+N just respects the settings of the "Homepage" pref in
Edit/Preferences/Navigator. So it does not copy state.

(Though there's a bug to do that somewhere, I believe)

As that statement is already invalid, all conclusions drawn from it are too, and
therefore marking bug INVALID.
