The tab names restart from Flow 1 upon browser refresh, even though already tab name is present. is this a known feature ? if yes, please ignore my observation.  
Will duplicate tab name have any issue in our project ?  
i understand, if we rename our tabs to custom names, system would not identify what should be next tab name, but if already Flow 1 is available, shouldn't it advance it by 1, like it does if done in the same session without browser restart ?

That is odd and certainly unexpected. Please raise an issue.

I also have older version node-red 2.1.3 in another PC, this is not seen in that however.  
may be this is due to 2.1.4 updating ?
