Thanks, this is much more clear now.  I suggest a slight rewording:

    Function called when selecting a tab to handle windows whose buffer was killed.
  When a tab-bar tab displays a window whose buffer was killed since
  this tab was last selected, this function determines what to do with
  that window.

> +  "Display a placeholder buffer in the window with killed buffer.
                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"...in the window whose buffer was killed."

> +A button allows to restore a killed file buffer."

"A button in the window allows to restore the killed buffer, if
it was visiting a file."
