1371769 - The window on OS X is very hard to drag now that the tabs are right at the top

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

This has become pretty annoying.

There should be drag space left to the tabs. Does this not work for you?

Comment 2

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

It does but having so little drag space makes Firefox unlike other apps on OS X.

At least within the mock-ups from shorlander in https://people-mozilla.org/~shorlander/projects/photon/Mockups/macOS.html, I believe the plan[1] is to expose a toggle for more drag space, fwiw.

That's bug 1349552 and we're considering cutting it due to relatively low volume of complaints (this is the first one).

For what it's worth, the only reason I haven't complained is that I have "browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar" set to false.  With it set to true, the tiny drag area is pretty hard to hit without accidentally maximizing the window...

That's good in the sense that we don't plan on dropping support for browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar=false.

FYI, we've decided to remove [photon-visual] since this bug isn't actionable. It will end up being either wontfixed or fixed by bug 1349552, if you will.
