I have my Facebook page as a "Pinned Tab". And had opened couple of other pages as normal tabs. I accidentally closed the Facebook page (using Cmd+W) and reopened it using Cmd-shift-T. The Facebook page opened while the other tabs were lost. I clicked on "TabCandy" button on the right to see the opened tabs. This causes usability problems giving the user a feeling that the tabs are lost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Pin a Tab
2. Open a new page (any page) on another tab.
3. Close the pinned tab (Cmd - W).
4. Re-open using Cmd-Shift-T. 
Actual Results:  
The newly opened tab is hidden. It is made visibile only in the TabCandy / Panorama page.

Expected Results:  
The opened tabs should be retained (ideally, I guess).
This will be fixed in beta10 / alternatively you could download a nightly build.
