Since maybe 1week -1o days back, recently closed tabs do not get restored when you press "Ctrl+Shift + T". Some old tab from an older session gets restored.
The recently closed tabs do not appear in the Hamburger Menu-> History menu.
First noticed in the 16Nov Nightly.

Doesnt happen all the time, so not 100% repro.

See attached video.

Happy to share any logs etc.

Hi, thanks for the bug and video. However, if you close a tab and it doesn't work via Ctrl + shift + T then you want to check in History > Recently Closed Tabs. If its in there, it should also be re-openable via the keyboard shortcut. Can you check there next time this happens?

The attached video does show that the tab i just closed (pixiie.js, at ~t=3 seconds) WAS NOT present in the History > Recently Closed Tabs (t=10s) list.
(ni?ing you back)

I was asking about the "Recently Closed Tabs" list, not the "Recent History" list as per your screencast. Was it also missing from this list?
