Steps to reproduce:

Nothing notable; just lots of tabs open


Actual results:

Randomly, tabs disappear and reappear.  Sliding the mouse across the tab bar also causes tab visibility to toggle randomly. Haven't found a pattern.  Just now, finally managed a screen shot of ALL tabs missing.  This has been happening for some time; but I thought it would be short-lived -- sorry for not reporting sooner.
Just before the screen shot, tabs were popping in and out of view, almost like Whack-A-Mole...  The left-most tab, just before the screen shot, displayed only the Close button.
Truly random behavior.


Expected results:

Work as expected.
Forgot to add: shortly after screen shot, all tabs reappeared on their own and are stable again...

This was a short-lived bug...  seems ok again...  closing as worksforme since there's no better option imo.
