Bug Description
I don't know if this should be considered a bug or a feature request, but here goes...
When you right click on the tab in konqueror, it gives you the option to open the page in a duplicate tab. This feature is all but useless because of poor modern website design: when you attempt to reload a url in flashy, form based websites, it just sends you back to the home page. We can't change the way websites are designed, but we can change konqueror. I think konqueror should attempt to duplicate the cached version of a webpage rather than the reload the website. This also uses less internet bandwidth, which even today is at a premium.

Thanks for the bug report.
I can confirm that the page is reloaded when a duplicate tab is created.
I have marked this against KDE bug 72800. It more closely resembles KDE bug 117955 which has been marked a duplicate of 72800.
