Insulate/isolate Private Tabs from each other
I'd like to see an improvement in the behavior of Private Tabs. As it is now, all they seem to do is not remember any data after they're closed.However, I'd also like to see them isolated/insulated from each other, so I can have two Private Tabs with two different Gmail logins active at the same time.
Searching the forums, and the web with Google, I find some people who claim that this already works for them, but I've never gotten it to work in any 11.x Opera version (Debian amd64).
Today, I backed up my configuration and did a clean install or 11.60 RC1. This is what happened:
1. Start Opera
2. Click "I Agree" in the license agreement window.
3. Close the "Thanks for trying out Opera 11.60 beta!" tab, leaving the speed dial tab open.
4. Choose "Tabs and Windows" -> "New Private Tab".
5. Go to https://www.gmail.com/ in the new Private Tab.
6. Log in to a Gmail account.
7. Choose "Tabs and Windows" -> "New Private Tab".
8. Go to https://www.gmail.com/ in the new Private Tab.
9. I'm automatically logged in to the Gmail account I logged in to in step 6.
I've also tried doing things in this order after doing a clean install or 11.60 RC1:
1. Start Opera
2. Click "I Agree" in the license agreement window.
3. Close the "Thanks for trying out Opera 11.60 beta!" tab, leaving the speed dial tab open.
4. Choose "Tabs and Windows" -> "New Private Tab".
5. Choose "Tabs and Windows" -> "New Private Tab".
6. In the tab created in step 4, go to https://www.gmail.com/ .
7. In the tab created in step 5, go to https://www.gmail.com/ .
8. In the tab created in step 4, log in to a Gmail account.
9. Reload the tab created in step 5, and the account I logged in to in step 8 also appears in this tab.
10. In the tab created in step 5, log out of Gmail.
11. Reload the tab created in step 4, and I'm logged out from the account in this tab as well.
The only time data should "spill" out of a private tab is when I middle-click a link in a Private Tab, in which case a new Private Tab should be opened, inheriting the data from the "parent" Private Tab.
