119438 - Clicking Close Tab X button often fails

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Jeremy]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

Attempting to close tabs with the X in the corner often fails to work.
The "hot-spot" for activating this function may be too small but frequently I
click the X and the tab doesn't close. I have to make a point of clicking in the
very centre of the X.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open some Tabs
2.Click X to close a tab
3.The tab doesn't close

It might be better if the X close-tab button was actually a real button or at
least given some visible boundary.
It appears to line up with the RH scroll-bar but the active area is actually
somewhat narrower and smaller than the Scroll bar/Tab height.

I used to see this problem, but don't anymore.

Sounds like a regression of bug 107276, but I am not seeing it.  Bug 104834 now
gives more of a button feel, as you request.

closing a tab sometimes doesn't work for me when the associated URL
was "about:blank" and I tried to close that, no matter if I press
"X" or Ctrl-W or use the File dialog box.

This is on Linux, build 2002022613 with XUL cache enabled.

I can't reproduce this; no response for >30 days; resolving as WFM.

if anyone can reproduce this bug with a recent build, please reopen.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

reopen only if this bug is still a problem with a *recent trunk build*.
