Opening out-of-scope links from a WebAPK clobbers top Chrome tab

Project Member Reported by sbirch@chromium.org, Jan 7 2017 
Chrome Version: Chrome dev Jan 3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open a tab in Chrome dev
(2) Open a WebAPK and click a link out of scope
(3) The existing tab opened in (1) is replaced

What is the expected result?
A new tab is created.

What happens instead?
The top tab is replaced.


Note: we may want to change this behavior to use the mini-bar anyways (sent a separate email about that.)

(Peter I think you had last looked at transitions?)

I didn't dig into code, but I think it is because it still uses the old WebContents rather than creating a new one. Since the that WebContents is already associated with a tab, then it just resues the tab.

Ah I see -- I think we will want to create a new tab as well then.

Comment 3 by hanxi@chromium.org, Jan 9 2017 

Sure, will investigate.

Comment 4 by sbirch@chromium.org, Jan 9 2017 

(n.b. I would wait until after Tuesday's weekly in case we decide to use the mini-bar instead. That would make this issue moot.)

This is moot in light of https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=680167
