Add "Undo close tab" feature to the app
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently there is no way that an user could get back a tab that he closed by mistake. It would be nice if there was a way of undoing the "close tab" for a few seconds from the time of closing a tab. It would avoid the user from regretting for his mistake of unknowingly closing a tab that had quite a little history in it.

The tabs indicator icon is missing from the main screen. I'm not sure whether this is a consequence of this change but noticed this just in 2.7.239-alpha-2018-09-25.

Also, I'm not able to access the undo close tab message which seems to make the feature inaccessible.

This is a limitation of the library that we're using to draw the tabs, and may be addressed in the future as the library improves.

That seems to make this feature useless. Hope this gets fixed soon.

What about the missing tab icon indicator in the main screen?
