Chrome - "Reopen last closed tab" not working

I noticed that lately the CTRL+SHIFT+T keyboard shortcut no longer works, although the Chrome Help Page does not state that anything changed.

I got this behavior on two different computers running Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit respectively) and Chrome 18.0.1025.162.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there an explanation/fix?

Step 1 Make sure it's the hotkey that's not working

See if the manual action still works, by right-clicking on the tab bar:

Step 2 Make sure no other application uses your hotkey

Another application might have registered the same hotkey globally and is now capturing it before Chrome has the chance to do it.

Close some applications and see if the behavior changes.

for whoes googling here...

Starting sept 2013 this is a real bug (not only a hotkey like in the previous response) : see

I too experienced the same issue before and looked out for any application which uses this shortcut as well, I found Jitsi is that one.

I removed shortcut by changing the value in Tools/Options/Advanced/Keybindings/Global Shortcuts menu
