134459 - When too many tabs are visible the 'X' to the right of them is not.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106927

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

I've only ever found myself doing this on Everything2 (but it isn't limited to
that site), but when you've got over 40 tabs visible (at 1280x960) the "close
tab" button disappears to the right of them. Which doesn't help you get out of
that situation ;)

You can still manually close tabs with File -> Close Tab.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load more than n number of tabs, where n is ~ (x resolution / 32).

Actual Results:  "Close tab" button was pushed beyond the rightmost tab, and
tabs to the right of that weren't visible either.

Expected Results:

The Close Tab button should /always/ be visible.

Two possible solutions for the rest of the tabs:
 o Compress the tabs further
 o Allow a left/right arrow (aka Galeon tab behaviour).
