regression in usage of browser tabs
-
We are in the Support section of this forum.
It is why I think the reasonable answer is keep your system up to date and get OTA-7.
If this were a History section, it would be easier for me to consider it relevant to discuss the exact nature of a bug encountered in the past, regression or not.
The past is the past, let's keep moving forward.

@libremax I reply here just to take advantage of the current thread opened by @guru to flag to you I found a similar issue as described by him. I noticed it since a while, I'm not quite sure since when, but for sure after Morph browser stepped in and got the first bunch of fixes. My device is a Pro5 and currently I'm up to date to the devel channel. I'd like to share with you what I see by attaching a picture. As you can see, the closing cross is not shown anymore in the tabs header but I'm still actually able to close each tab if I tap on the place where it was supposed to be.
-
@matteo issue 50 in morph browser was about the impossibility to close the current tab (and only the current tab).
So your issue is another and new issue.You should create a report for this new issue at this address:
https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/issuesIt would be useful to test Stable channel, and RC channel to determine where the problem is present at the moment for your device type and thus help to correct it.
-
@matteo that sounds to me like you're carrying some debris from past browser installations. Have you tried to clean Morph's
cache
andconfig
files? -
@libremax ok but in the thread it was stated that the closing cross has disappear, so I just took advantage of that statement to expose this related issue. By the way, no big deal, don't pay attention to this issue, this could be something peculiar to my phone, maybe correlated to the weird behavior my phone has with certain UT features. Thank you for the reply!
@advocatux thank you for the hint but I just tried to clear the Morph's cache, data and config file but nothing changed, I'm afraid.
-
@matteo In OTA-5 oxide browser has been replaced by the new morph browser and in this first published version of morph browser there wasn't possible to close the current tab.
So it was not a matter of disappearance but of non-existence
-
When installing Morph for the first time is also important to check that Next is fully uninstalled
-
@advocatux Good point, I almost forgot Next (alias browser-ng).
Let's hope that few users had tried it. -
@advocatux I know, however I made several flashes of UT on the Pro5 so Next I'm sure coudn't exist anymore. Sorry to hijack this thread then, maybe I misunderstood its purpose.
-
@matteo no problem at all
-
@matteo You are using a dark system theme, correct? I think the issue you are experiencing is a case of white x's on a white background, i.e. the tabs do not follow the system theme, but their content (the text and the x) do.
-
@arubislander thank you for the pointer, you are right. I selected SuruDark and this makes not seeing anymore the cross on each tab header...Am I supposed to file this bug somewhere? The theme options selector is only available with UTTT, so maybe the issue should be properly raised there.
-
@matteo you can request support for Suru Dark in morphs issue tracker: https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/issues
I think there is no issue for it yet.
