106447 - Open in New Tab duplicates & closes wrong window/tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 107276

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[David Wilson]

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2001101117

Open in New Tab is conceptually great, however the current implementation lacks
something.

While in LinuxToday, I opened a link in a tab then attempted to close the new
tabbed window by a right click, close tab selection.  What remained was the
tabbed window and not the one I wanted remaining.

I attempted to repeat the process to confirm by starting over and got two tabs
of the original page (modified only by the new advertising banner I guess) plus
the desired link properly tabbed.  I did not expect or want the original
(almost) duplicated. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.See above.  I tried it twice.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  It closes the wrong tab and/or duplicates the original tab
representing two associated but different problems.

Expected Results:  Close the selected tab.  Not duplicate the original tab.

looks like a possible dup of mine too: bug 102464 - sometimes right-click
content items to close tab chooses wrong behavior..

I'm not seeing any duplication of tabs (try different pages in each tab - I dont
think it is duplicating any), just tabs I was on opening again after I chose
'close other tabs' behavior as described in bug 102464 or bug 106385.

Ctrl-T is definetely opening 3 windows.. instead of 1 new one.  

1) If choosen 'close other tabs' from the second window it hides the first tab
then leaves open the second.. and second + X number of tabs are closed.

2) Upon immediate Ctrl-T after #1, the first tabs content is back as the first tab, 
the second tabs' content is the second tab, and the third tab is a new window.

this behavior happens when there is 3 tabs open.. 2 tabs open has different
behavior.

[Shotaro Kamio]

#1 and #2 of the above happened in Mozilla 0.9.5/Linux (2001101202).
#2 happened by "Open in New Tab", but not by CTRL-T for me.

Shotaro,

ok, maybe that is what does it for #2.  after trying to deceminate both of these
two bugs.. I'm also confusing myself.  So if someone would like to add some
clarity to help rectify these.. It would be appreciated.

I was also trying to experiment with the Hide tab checkbox.. and to see if it is
possible that it works partially, but as I see a checkin today to get that
working because it had not been implemented (weird) as of time prior to this post.

Can anybody still reproduce this ? Fix for Bug 107276 could have fixed this also.

Comment 10

[Jacek Piskozub]

I believe Niklas is right. I haven't seen this behavior for a few days.

Ok, got an email from the reporter (David Wilson):

> As reporter, I believe the bug is fixed regarding your message as follows

Closing as dup of 107276, please reopen, if somebody is still able to reproduce it.
