161618 - tab spanning, instead of new windows after 17 tabs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 161520

Description

[Brian Lee]

This is just a suggestion... I noticed that after about 17 tabs chimera will
open new windows each time you want to open another tab in that window. Is it
possible to have the new tabs from the first window span to the second instead
of opening a new window after that. I am assuming that the developers decided
this because after 17 new tabs the tab titles become unreadable because they are
cut off i.e. ta... instead of "tab title"

1) start chimera
2) goto a webpage that has 20 or more links on it
3) click on links 1-20 of that page but open each link as new tabs (cmd click)
the links

Notice that after opening 17 links as new tabs, new windows start opening (on
the 18th link) each time you open another tab from the page with 20 links (step 2)

WorksForMe using FizzillaCFM/2002080508. At the 17th tab, Chimera just beeps,
and neither create additional tabs nor opens a new window. Something new?

Oops, that should be Chimera/2002080605, not FizzillaCFM/2002080508.

Attachment: Here's a picture, first window has 16 tabs windows behind are the 17th tab and so on "each" in new windows

This is a screen shot taken from my iBook I did a search on google for
webhosting and I opened each link on the results page as a new tab (cmd click)
the links. notice that the main window has 16 tabs in total, the windows behind
are spawned from the main window each time you click on a link as a new tab
once the main window has exceeded 16 tabs. This was tested with nightly
08/09/02

Note that bug 156607 introduced this behavior. Also, bug 161520 seems to be
raising the same issues as this bug.

I don't really understand what's wrong with the current behaviour.
