699042 - [Tablet UI] Enable the ability to undo a closed tab in portrait mode

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Cristian Nicolae (:xti)]

Mozilla/5.0 (Android;Linux armv7l;rv:10.0a1)Gecko/20111101
Firefox/10.0a1 Fennec/10.0a1
Devices: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
OS: Android 3.1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Fennec App
2. Switch tablet orientation to portrait
3. Open a couple of webpages in different tabs
4. Tap on the Tab Menu
5. Close any opened tab from the list
6. Undo the tab closed at step 5

Expected result:
The position of the closed tab remains the same at it was before step 5. Instead of " X " button, now there is a counterclockwise sign.

Actual result:
The tab closed at step 5 is not listed anymore to the Tab Menu. The only possible way to restore it is to switch the tablet orientation to landscape.

I can reproduce this in latest xul nightly 20111107.  The for recently closed do not appear unless in landscape mode.

Hi all, the intended behaviour is 

1. Open Menu
2. Close tab
3. Tab is closed, but a menu item remains in place to Restore Closed Tab
4. Tapping menu item re-opens tab

We don't have this UI in Firefox 18.
