What are you doing exactly, and what happens?

What do you mean with "dropped out"? Please send a complete bug report
with WhisperBack in a session where you've reproduced this problem,
so we have logs and can look into it.
> No warning about closing multiple tabs in gedit. Should there be?
We don't modify the Debian/upstream defaults about it. Does gedit
allow you to close multiple tabs if any was modified but *not* saved?
If not, then I think we're good.

For which language? We include dictionaries and spell checkers for
Arabic, German, English, Spanish, Farsi, French, Italian, Portuguese
(Brazil), Russian and Vietnamese. The spell checker works fine for me
in English.
> Bookmarks
> show all bookmarks…….restore…...choose file
This is not supported, sorry. Please instead use the "Browser
bookmarks" persistence feature:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/configure/
> Can the ‘Details’ in ‘All settings’ be securely hidden, motherboard, processor, graphic etc?
This would be an endless battle that we're doomed to lose with the
current design of Tails.

Please describe exactly what you're doing and what happens as I cannot
reproduce this myself.

Indeed, there's no need for the password to erase an encrypted partition.

In which software do you want to use it?
Can you please point me to the web page of the exact software you'd
like to see included?
> I do all my writing in Tails. Can a dictionary and Thesaurus be included?
For which language?
> In DISKS I use format with zeros function all the time. My external 1.5TB hdd took 9.5 hours!
I'm not sure how it could be made faster, sorry :/

I'm not sure this would be doable, and quite frankly I have little
interest in this feature myself. Please suggest it to them yourself :)

Please first clarify what problem this would solve :)

It is useful!
