The undo command does not function properly when attempting to undo a form reset. fixing this would surely solve a lot of agony experienced by a user who has just hit such a button.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter data into a form with a reset button
2. press reset
3. attempt to undo
Actual Results:  
The form stays cleared, and does not bring back the lost data

Expected Results:  
the previously reset data will magically reappear making your day!

Not really a bug, enhancement request, maybe.

I was looking through the bug tracker and didn't noticed any other similar requests, which is strange.

This would be also useful if you undo a closed tab, for example, currently if you close tab by mistake with CMD+W (ctrl+w) and then hit "reopen last closed tab" (cmd + shift +T ), the previously inputted text is not restored in the input form.

All chromium based browsers are restoring the text, which is huge convenience, especially if you've written an email for 25 minutes or something else which suddenly disappears... : ))

I believe both are related, thus i'm writing in this ticket.

Thank you!
