Split View windows do not restore their layout after browser restart

Preliminary Checks

• I have read and understood the important section above.
• I have searched existing issues and avoided creating duplicates.
• I am not filing an enhancement request.
• I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.
• I have checked that this issue can be reproduced once I removed all my Mods and Custom CSS.

What happened?

When using Split View mode in Zen Browser, the browser remembers which tabs were opened in Split View, but it does not restore their window positions, layout, or arrangement after restarting the browser. As a result, every time I restart Zen, I have to manually rearrange the Split View windows again.

Expected behavior

The browser should restore the exact window layout (positions and arrangement) of Split View after a restart, so that users can continue their workflow without manually adjusting the windows each time.

Actual behavior

Only the information that Split View mode was enabled and which tabs were opened is remembered, but the layout itself is reset after restarting the browser.

Steps to reproduce

When using Splet View mode in Zen Browser, the browser remembers which tabs were opened in Splet View, but it does not restore their window positions, layout, or arrangement after restarting the browser.
As a result, every time I restart Zen, I have to manually rearrange the Splet View windows again.

The problem still exists; it is not outdated.

Can you fix the spelling of 'split' in the title. It's hard to find this issue when looking for duplicates ;D
