I often want to clone the current page into a new tab and use this handy trick frequently in Chrome on macOS. It ends up being disruptive on Goobuntu because I forget that this is not supported there, and then end up losing the state of the current page. It's very easy to forget that this is not supported for the Refresh button because it works for the Back/Forward buttons (including the list of links that is exposed when you right-click the Back button) -- it's for this reason that I am filing this as a defect and not a FR.
