108212 - tabs bar does not have a constant height

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Stephane Chauveau]

The tabs bar does not always have the same height resulting
in some small vertical shifts while browsing.

build: 2001110108 (linux)
desktop: gnome 
system font: fixed(misc)/medium/12points
   -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-ISO8859-1
theme: Classic

I have identified 3 states with different heights

[1] when there is only one tab
[2] when there is only multiple tabs
[3] when a tab is loading (the rotating arrows are visible)



Steps to see the difference between [1] and [2]: 
 
 -1- Disable the option "Hide the tabs when only one ... "
 -2- Open 2 non-empty tabs.
 -3- Close the tab without focus using the popup menu.
 -4- The content of the tab with focus is shifted vertically.
 
Steps to see the difference between [2] and [3]: 
 -1- Open 2 or more non-empty tabs. 
 -2- Reload the tab without focus using the popup menu.
 -3- When the reload start and stop, the content of the 
     current tab is shifted vertically.

Expected effect: No vertical shifts

I cann't reproduce this problem on 2002030103/Windows2000.
Can you reproduce this problem 0.9.8 or later,Stephane?

The problem seems to be gone on 200202608. I tried with a few different 
font sizes but I am not able to reproduce it anymore.

PS: tht is/was a Linux problem related to fonts so I am not suprised that
you can't reproduce it on W2000.

This problem reproduced on 0.9.5 or later/Windows2000 and Linux.
And this problem reproduced only classic theme.

Same problem reported on Bugzilla-jp.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.gr.jp/show_bug.cgi?id=1534

UNCONFIRMED -> WORKSFORME ?

Masayuki, are you saying that this problem is still present? ("0.9.5 or later")

Stephane already said that the problem is not reproducible.

This would have been bug 137057. It's still there for e.g. Orbit theme
