Description
What type of issue is this?
Safari browser doesn't fully support the sessionStorage Specification
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
It says that Safari supports sessionStorage. It does but not fully since when a user duplicates a Tab the sessionStorage is not being passed to the duplicated Tab. It is part of the requirements ;"Duplicating a tab copies the tab's sessionStorage into the new tab.
"
What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?
Safari
What did you expect to see?
When duplicating a Tab, the sessionStorage should be copied to the new tab
Did you test this? If so, how?
Yes, I had a tab with sessionStorage in my laptop in Safari. I duplicated the tab and the sessionStorage is not passed.
