Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

following applies with latest karmic 2.28/webkit version of epiphany.

after visiting a link, that link is ordinarily shown in a purplish color. this seems to work properly within a browser (or tab? not sure?) session, but after restarting the browser, visited links still show blue. (history still shows that the urls have been visited though)

actually, seems to be tab specific, as get different link colorings in each tab of a single browser window

Any news on this, as this bug for me still exists in Lucid Beta 1 (amd64).

Visited sites wont "get marked" as such after closing epiphany. As long as the session runs I see visited links as purple. After closing epiphany and visit the same site all visited links are blue again as if I never had visited the linked sites.
