Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this an issue only in Warp?

Yes, I confirmed that this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Hey @andig - how are you closing Warp here? The restoration functionality applies in these cases:

1. You're updating Warp which requires a restart
2. You quit the Warp app and re-open it

Please see https://docs.warp.dev/features/sessions/session-restoration for details

If you close the Warp window manually (with the "x" button), that's treated as an explicit closure of the window and isn't restored.

Indeed Cmd-Q on Mac. This is really surprising though. Weren't tabs previously restored even in this case or am I totally wrong?

[andig]

https://docs.warp.dev/features/sessions/session-restoration doesn't say anything about this only happening during updates. That would be totally surprising.

@andig - Cmd-Q does have session restoration since that triggers a quit not a close action (which is Cmd-W). You're not seeing that? I'm not able to repro on the latest build currently (v0.2025.01.08.08.02.stable_04)

Just to confirm, you have "Restore windows, tabs and panes on startup" enabled in Settings > Features > General?

[andig]

That's what I thought. An indeed it used to work.
