342526 - Camino should not jumpback when closing a tab opened via Cmd-T

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Tabbed Browsing, defect)

Description

STR:

1. Open a new Camino window
2. Open a new tab via Cmd-T
3. Load a page in the newly-opened tab (tab 2)
4. Open some links from that page in the *background* (these will create tabs 3, 4, etc.)
5. Close tab 2 (the one opened by Cmd-T initially)

Expected: View "next" tab to the right, tab 3
Actual: Jumpback to tab 1 (previous tab to the left)

There's no way one can reasonably assume that a tab opened via Cmd-T is "related" to another tab, so closing the Cmd-T tab should not invoke jumpback if there are further tabs to the right to be seen.  Moreover, that tab wasn't opened via SWM or cmd-click, so it fails the stated test for invoking jumpback anyway.

Hmm, upon further testing, this seems to only happen with the "first" tab  (whether that tab has content or is about:blank! and whether that tab was the initial tab opened or not--it's whichever tab is tab 1 at the time the Cmd-T tab is created) and only when no other tabs are open...something in the special-casing of the first tab must be awry.
