Hmm I don't really understand these reproduction steps, sorry. How can we test this without having an open tab exist before a release goes out?

Reproducible in production?: New feature

What does this mean? Did we add a new feature?

Not sure what we want to do about this one @roryabraham or if there's a way to test this.

I'm not sure what the video is supposed to show, but according to the description, this is the intended behavior. The web app is supposed to refresh and update itself if you background it. It's a feature, not a bug 😄 In fact, it seems that maybe that behavior has just been broken since its inception and was just fixed by #8350.

Awesome, thanks!
