What happened?

Describing the Bug
After opening multiple tabs in Zen Browser, inactive tabs automatically freeze after a set period. Previously, clicking on an inactive tab would reload and open it as expected. However, after the recent update, inactive tabs cannot be reopened by clicking on them in the sidebar. Instead, I must right-click and select "Duplicate Tab" to access the content.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open multiple tabs in Zen Browser.
  2. Wait until some tabs become inactive.
  3. Attempt to reopen an inactive tab by clicking on it in the tabs sidebar.

Expected Behavior
Clicking on an inactive tab should reload and open it, as it did before the update.

Observed Behavior
Clicking on inactive tabs does nothing. They remain inaccessible until duplicated.

Environment

Hello @AhmedOsman101! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions for Zen Browser. Let's work together to resolve the issue you're experiencing.

A similar issue was discussed in a closed thread titled ZEN keeps disabling opened tabs. The suggested solution was to go to Settings > Tab Management > Tab Unloader, and uncheck Enable Tab Unloader [1].

Additionally, the recent update introduced changes that might affect tab reactivation behavior. These include modifications to the unread attribute, Zen Workspaces integration, pinned tab management, and tab closing behavior, which could collectively impact how tabs are reactivated [2][3]. You might want to review these settings and see if adjusting them resolves the issue.
