[Usability] Persist active notebook page?

[Christian Persch <chpe gnome org>]

Hi,

should dialogues with notebooks remember which tab was active the last
time they were shown? I've filed a bug against Epiphany
[http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153810] about that, but have
been told to ask here if this makes sense generally, and if it should be
recommended for all apps.

IMHO, it does make sense: consider this example: In Epiphany, you want
to modify your font settings. You go Edit->Preferences, switch to Font
tab, modify your fonts; close dialogue. A bit later, you notice it's
still not right, so you go back to the preferences dialogue. It should
open on the fonts page, but does not.

Regards,
        Christian
