Closing tab doesn't actually close it.

[Danielle Foré]

Using Granite

It appears that when tabs are closed, some signal isn't being sent back to Midori. The tabs aren't actually being closed, the tab is just hidden.

If I close a few tabs, close Midori and re-open it, all the tabs I closed will re-appear. This can lead to Midori starting up with 100's of tabs.

What's more annoying is closing a tab with video or audio, I can still hear the content continuing to play in the background.

Granite doesn't always emit tab-removed, so depending on how you close it, Midori doesn't take notice that you did.

[Tom Beckmann (tombeckmann)]

It is emitted when clicking the close button or pressing Ctrl+W. Do I miss a way to close a tab?
I added a print to granite-demo.
Are you sure, you're returning TRUE from the connected handler? Otherwise, the tab won't be removed from the notebook.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

Closing with close buttons works.
If Midori calls remove_tab() the signal is never emitted.

This is tab-removed in Midori:

view = tab.get_page()
/* internal Midori signal that the tab was removed */
view.destroy()
return true

Should be fixed now if I'm not mistaken.

No this bug isn't fixed. If i close a tab the sound continues playing in the background.
Another annoying bug is that HTML5 videos on youtube only play the sound but not the video itself.

PS : I'm using the latest midori version of elementary luna beta 1.

This version has not yet been made available to Luna. That's something I need to work on with Christian.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

Just FYI, the fixed version is in Luna beta builds.

[Arturo Torres Sánchez (r2d2.art2005)]

I'm still affected by this bug. I'm using Midori 0.4.8 from elementary OS PPA.

This bug is present in ElementaryOS Luna, and it's so annoying.

I like midori's ability to restore previously open tabs, but yesterday I watched a few videos and they will haunt me forever. They have been restored in every browser session I started since then. And if I close their tabs without pausing the video first, they won't shut up, and I get to listen to 6 40-minute long videos of talks at the same time.

It would be hilarious if I wasn't trying to get stuff done.

This browser is amazing and lightweight and super easy to use, but I'll have to use firefox until this is fixed.
