Describe the issue you encountered:
Clone tab on different tabs always clones the first cloned tab

Expected behavior:
Clone tab should clone the specific tab on which the option was selected.

• Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?):
  Windows 10 x64
• Brave Version:
  0.11.2 Dev Beta1
• Steps to reproduce:
  1. Clone from an existing tab
  2. Cloned tab opens next to the original tab
  3. Clone a new tab which is already open
  4. The same cloned tab opens again rather than the new tab on which clone was selected.

Is it the same even though you navigate to a different page on the opened tab? If so it sounds like a problem.

[srirambv]

No if navigated to different page then there is no problem. But if you clone a tab and don't navigate to any other page but try to clone a different tab then it still clones the first tab.

Clone tab is working only on active tab not the other tabs. Even if you clone other tab it opens a clone tab of the active tab.

I confirmed it too. Linking to #2768

I'm seeing some slightly unexpected behavior on this one. Tested with 275a343

[luixxiul]

An inactive tab cannot be cloned actually until I select the tab and make it active.

that's a valid bug and has to do with cloning unloaded tabs but is out of scope for this task, please file a new task for that. Nice find!

[bbondy]

assuming this is only for unloaded tabs like @luixxiul said? If not pls re-open.

[luixxiul]

@bbondy yes exactly :-)
