• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Devin Rousso]

This would be useful for creating background tabs, such as if multiple recordings are captured at once.

I think we should discuss this as a team before moving foreard. I'm not convinced having a tab "per recording" for canvases is a good idea.

This is unrelated to this change.  All this change does is allow tabs to be created and not immediately selected.  What you described is not made possible by this change.

I should have looked more closely. Your initial description made me think it had to do with multiple tabs per recording.

If this isn't being used yet, it should probably wait (at least until a bug can be added to "Blocks").

Why is this getting removed?

r=me, but this deserves a comment in the ChangeLog. It looks like it is just bad code, but its not in line with the rest of the patch so it deserves a specific comment.
