By default, the images are off from the configuration. But as soon as the Browser refreshes all the tabs after I switch the app due to memory reload, the images get turned on to all the open tabs.

Thanks for the bug report. I will take a look at it when I get the chance.

Are images disabled app-wide or with Domain Settings?

Interestingly the Display Images under domain settings stay off as user preference. What happens is that the Images toggle under the "page menu" of open tabs get triggered.

Not sure if log could capture it but I've tried. There was one tab with images turned off. But then it trigged on itself after a brief memory refresh and then the tab refresh.

I don't imagine a log would be very helpful in this case. Usually it only contains useful information if there is a crash.

Can you clarify what method you have used to disable images for the tab before the app is restarted?

Actions #7

It's from the Preferences itself. Display Images = Off .
Although I may or may not utilise Domain Settings to modify per domain, this isn't usually the case. Because it affects on non domain saved pages too.

So, to make sure I understand, you have displaying images disabled app-wide. When the app restarted, one of the tabs displayed images and the others didn't?

It is all the opened tabs tbh. You can reproduce this yourself.
1. Keep Images off from preferences.
2. Open any image heavy websites (single or multiple doesn't matter) without Images.
3. Make sure you don't enable Images from any of their page menus.
4. Trigger memory refresh by your android's app switcher.
5. Come back to the opened page.

It should have it's images turned itself on after the page reload.

I am able to replicate the behavior. I'll have to see if there is anything I can do about it. It looks like Android's WebView is not preserving the display image status as part of the WebView settings (probably because they don't think it is important). There might be a way I can manually save and restore the state, but that should already be happening with the app-wide settings, so it is also possible that WebView ignores this setting and uses its own internal default when restoring states.

Could be. Hope the debugging is successful.
