This is not a bug. We don’t support restoring the tab history for tab opened with “undo closed tab”. Please, open a Feature Request for this.

The issue isn’t that the tab history can’t be restored. The issue is that the tab history can be restored, but the button appearance doesn’t reflect that.

THank you. I’ll double check this.

will be fixed 1.9.8
