HistoryPanel summary does not update when switching request

[federicobond]

When switching requests in the history panel, every other panel updates to display a summary specific to the newly selected request under its name. This is not the case for the History panel itself, though, which still shows the original request URL.

I looked into the code and found a specific exclude_history field, which seems to control this behavior. I'm wondering if this is a deliberate design choice or if it would be sensible to also update the data under the history panel to point to the chosen URL (the one for which the panel is currently showing data).

It seems inconsistent that the panel displays view name, timing data, etc. for the selected request, but keeps the URL of original page for the HistoryPanel.

The history panel is excluded from the history's own data on purpose. This was because it operates outside of that cycle. When fetching data for a given request, the history should be separate. The history is a global scope rather than a per-request scope. However, I think you're correct that the information displayed for the history panel could be improved. I think we should create an issue for that and a fix can be implemented.
