I found workaround by trying many ways to get it work in Sierra.
Required: System Preferences -> Dock -> Open document in tabs -> Only in full-screen mode.
If you want open new tabs, try 3-5 steps again.
Note: If you forgot steps 4 and 5, you able to use native-tabs, but top tabs bar will be empty or hidden (i don’t why)
This solution tested in v1.40 and v1.39.
Hope it helps you 😄
@bpasero, I can confirm the issue still persists with the exploration build
By the way: In order to reproduce, you must set “Prefer tabs when opening documents” to “Always” in System Preferences > Dock
@bpasero You can track bug at here in Electron repository
@dalisoft thanks a ton for doing this ❤️ . Now as a last step, can you distill this into an issue against Electron here and link the bug back here?
@babakks Aw, sorry. Please, really sorry. Yes, i mean @bpasero !
We are building exploration builds that use a much newer version of our UI framework (Electron version 6.0.x). I wonder if this issue reproduces with one of these builds, could you try? Download:
