Pinned tabs should be in all windows |

Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Pin tab 2. Open new window 3. Pinned tab is not in new window What is the expected behavior? That pinned tabs will be pinned on all windows What went wrong? Pinned tabs are only pinned to the window they're created in. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 56.0.2924.87 Channel: n/a OS Version: Flash Version: 24.0.0.221 I have multiple windows, each for a different workspace and pin things like GMail, Calendar and Hangouts. I'd like those to be on all windows, so I have access to them all the time and don't have to open separate instances for each window. Optimally, the each pin would be a single instance, so that I can change windows and keep state as well as reducing memory pressure (having 6 copies of GMail open is expensive, memory wise).

There are valid use cases for pinned tabs to be global to all windows, but I believe the more common case is for people to use separate windows for separate meanings, and forcing pinned tabs into all windows would frustrate those people. While having multiple copies of a particular tab open is more expensive in terms of memory, it at least allows people to manually set up a workflow that duplicates their pinned tabs. The reverse, where pinned tabs are pinned in all windows, prevents people who want to opt out from doing so. Finally, from a UX perspective, having a single tab simultaneously driving an arbitrary number of copied outputs (more than one of which may be visible at once) is a bit confusing, especially if the tab does something like spawn a window-modal dialog. |
