115279 - too many tabs causes important UI elements to disapear

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106927

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[m_mozilla]

using moz0.9.6

view a page long enough to create a vertical scroll bar, and with a whole bunch
of links (a very vague bugzilla query, for example)

set your prefs to open new links in the background in tabs, and then proceed to
open a whole bunch of those links into new tabs. Eventually, you'll have "too
many" and guess what happens...

In my case, my vertical scroll bar vanished... it got pushed out of the rendered
window along with the 'X' to close tabs. Not only could I not access the close
tab widget, but I also couldn't scroll down.

Widening my window brought the scrollbar back.

I think it would be nice if the tabs started taking up more vertical space. If
I've got too many tabs for one line of tabs, then start a second line. If I
persist until my entire browser window is filled with rows of tabs, then I
deserve what I get.
