102129 - Add an option to include all titles of TABs in window title

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Roland Mainz]

[per request in bug 102116]
RFE: Add an option to include all titles of TABs in the window title; the
current active TAB's title should be at the top.

Most window managers (incl. CDE's dtwm) support multi-line titles - this option
would be very usefull of the user use both multiple TABs and multiple windows at
the same time.

The option should be "ON" by default on Unix/Linux and "OFF" for all other
platforms (except for those which support multi-line window titles, too).

Comment 3

[Roland Mainz]

Compatibility: 
Enabling this feature by default won't hurt. Window managers which do not
support multi-line window titles usually view the first line - which should be
the one of the _active_ TAB - which is identical to the current functionality...
:-)

This should not be difficult to implement - it just requires a minor
modification in the code which changes the window title for TABs... any idea
where this code is loocated ?

Seems reasonable.

This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
