New private session grid tab doesn't auto open or invoke keyboard

0xChain

When starting a new private session and it shows tab in grid view the tab is blank and also doesn't automatically open. Nor does it open keyboard when tapped, as is set in settings

When entering into a private session it should open the new tab as it would in normal session

0xChain thank you for taking the time to report this bug!

I have reviewed recent builds as well as the most recent build from the App Store. When switching tab groups (whether they are Private or not), Orion does not preselect a tab, so this is the expected behaviour.

When it comes to opening the keyboard on a new tab (when touching the + button), this appears to have been fixed recently. Would you be able to confirm this works fine for you?

I'll close this ticket as it appears to me there's no work left for us on it.

Thank you for your help in making Orion a better browser!

jeanetienne I guess the intended UX is that if there are no currently open tabs in Private then when you switch to it rather than it showing a blank white tab (because no site has been visited yet) it should prompt an automatic "tab click", if you will, so then you can immediately start typing in URL or clicking from Favorites

@Yannick can you look into this?

I think Private mode should function like the current Normal mode:
Creating a new page automatically focuses on it, and the keyboard appears (or not, depending on the user's configuration).
