• Did you search for similar issues before submitting this one?
  Yes

• Describe the issue you encountered:
  When a Private tab is in its own window prior to Brave being is closed/relaunched, that window appears all white on relaunch and is in some cases unusable.

• Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?):
  MacOS, verified on Win by @kjozwiak

• Brave Version (revision SHA):
  0.18.24

• Steps to reproduce:

  1. Launch Brave.
  2. Load two tabs with any two sites.
  3. Create a new Private tab and load a site.
  4. Tear off/detach the Private tab so it is now in its own window. (you now have two windows)
  5. Close/relaunch Brave.
  6. Window which had the Private tab displays all white.

• Actual result:
  Window which had the Private tab displays all white (appears dead). You can however type in the URL bar and load a site.

• Expected result:
  Window should either display what your selection for what 'a new tab shows' or not be there at all since it held a private tab prior to closing Brave.

• Will the steps above reproduce in a fresh profile? If not what other info can be added?
  Yes

• Is this an issue in the currently released version?
  Yes, 0.18.23

• Can this issue be consistently reproduced?
  Yes

• Extra QA steps:

  1. Launch Brave.
  2. Load two tabs with any two sites.
  3. Create a new Window (you now have two windows). Create a Private tab and load a site. Close the normal tab that was in this window.
  4. Close/relaunch Brave.
  5. Window which had the Private tab displays all white. Note - this time you can't reuse this window. If you type in the URL bar, the tab loads with site tab name, but no content displays in the tab.

• Screenshot if needed:
  Prior to close:
  

After relaunch:

If there's only one incognito tab then the window probably shouldn't even re-open right?

[bsclifton]

@syuan100 great point 😄 That tab should be removed

@LaurenWags what happens to private tabs when there is only one window (which has other tabs)? I'm guessing the private tabs are just removed. I think we'll need to update the logic here to auto-close the window when no more tabs exist

[LaurenWags]

You are correct @bsclifton - the private tab is just removed from the window with other tabs.
