"Recently closed" does not allow you to recover groups of accidentally closed tabs ("Close all tabs" button)

Reported by billdill...@gmail.com, Jan 2 2018

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
I will just describe what happened to me: I had 44 tabs open in Chrome on my Android phone. I accidentally tapped the "Close all tabs" button. Chrome itself closed because I had the "Homepage" option turned on (this is a separate issue but part of the problem, see  bug 798227 ). I reopened Chrome and went to "Recent tabs" but in the "Recently closed" section, there was no "44 tabs" option there like there is in Chrome for Desktop. As a result, I could not recover my tabs!

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
This really needs to be fixed. The "Recently closed" section should have had the "44 tabs" option that Chrome for Desktop has

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 63  Channel: stable

@billdillensrevenge -- Thanks for reporting this issue. Could you please provide us the device details where the issue is reproduced.

Could you also please let us know if you are verifying it in multiple devices or on the single device. If possible please provide the screencast, that would help us in further triaging the issue.

Thanks in advance!
It is an Android phone, running Android 8.0. I can reproduce on any android phone. This should not be a low priority bug because users not being able to recover tabs if they accidentally tap "Close all tabs" is a serious problem

Ted, I'm putting this on your radar as I think you're dealing with a similar request about adding functionality to tab management.
