Description Teodor 2013-06-08 18:54:41 UTC

Sometimes I miss a feature, which will open a recently closed windows by a shortcut.

It may be usefull if you close a window, then realise that you still need it, but it's too late 

Reproducible: Always

Please do not just flood the bugtracker with generic bug reports but assign them to the proper component.

Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2013-06-10 12:54:57 UTC

sorry this is not possible. If a window closes the following might happen:
* application closes
* application doesn't close

If application closes there is no way to restore - the process is gone. If the application doesn't close only it can know which window it was. In many cases this is not possible (e.g. a modal dialog which did some processing). So all applications would need to be adjusted to track which window got closed.
