Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 173703

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Stein Oddvar Rasmussen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

When a tab is closed the browsers view-window is hidden. Typing an URL in the
address field or clicking a bookmark will load a page, but it will not display.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new tab.
2. Without viewing the first tab, close it by right-clicking the tab and choose
"close".

Actual Results:  
The view-windows becomes blank. If you type in an address manually in the
address field, or click a bookmark, Mozilla loads the page but the screen
remains blank.

Expected Results:  
Close the first tab, and then display the second tab as the main view-window.

If you add a new tab, the "hidden" tab reappears with contents.
