Description

If you use @ViewScoped beans and activate CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE (url or client) a page refresh generates a new windowid although the application in the current browser window already has a windowid.
I think a new windowid should only be generated, if no windowid exists, e.g. open new window or tab with the same url.

<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE</param-name>
<param-value>url</param-value>
<!-client doesn't work too->
</context-param>

A testcase is attached.
call url: http://localhost:8080/jsftest22/mypage.jsf
Fill some values into field
Press F5 to refresh the page
=> new windowid is generated => inputdata is lost, because a new @ViewScoped bean was created
