Timer keeps resetting itself after 5 seconds in unlocked tabs

Open ItsDanielHarris opened this issue 8 years ago • 11 comments

I have the timer set to 2 minutes and when it counts down to 1:56-1:55 mark, it resets. It does it in a non-stop loop. This happens in Chromium 56 in Raspbian Jessie.

How many tabs do you have open? The timer resets if you have fewer than the minimum number of tabs open so that when you finally open a new tab it doesn't immediately close other tabs.

One pinned tab and one unlocked tab. It worked the first time, and when I re-opened the same unlocked tab, the problem happened.

What are your settings? What's the minimum number of tabs you want open?

Close inactive tabs after: 1 minute Don't auto-close if I only have: 30 tabs open Remember up to: 10 closed tabs Checked - Clear closed tabs list on quit Unchecked - Show # of closed tabs in url bar

I need all the tabs closed after 1 minute except for the 1 pinned tab.

Don't auto-close if I only have: 30 tabs open

Change that to 0.

Pinned tabs are never closed automatically, so no need to worry about that one.

Changed it to 0 but the problem still persists.

Bump

I'm seeing this issue also. no tabs have been closed, even after tweaking the configuration to various values. the clock is resetting every few seconds

I just realized the "don't auto close if i only have N tabs" setting is a per-window count, not global, so if it's set to 10, only windows with greater than 10 tabs open will have any tabs closed.

I think this issue can be addressed adequately by clarifying the expectation in the UI copy:

change to "tabs open in a single window"

This is probably easy to fix. PRs welcome.

Related to https://github.com/tabwrangler/tabwrangler/issues/95. The "per window" feature is not apparent nor is it configurable.

Closing as a duplicate of #95 since the issue is related to the poor description of the per-window behavior. Exposing per-window functionality in #95 and describing how it works covers this issue as well.
