145100 - Webpage content cut off when too many tabs are present

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106927

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Weiqi Gao]

Steps to recreate the problem:

1. Enable Tabbed Browsing.
2. Visit a page that have links.
3. Repeatedly middle-click on a link (say 30 times.)

What happens:

As more and more tabs are created, the tabs gets smaller and smaller.  But there
seems to be a minimum size that a tab can shrink to.  After that minimum size is
attained, any new tabs will not be visible in the browser.  However, the content
of the page is re-layed-out after each tab creation, as if the client area of
the window is getting wider and wider.  However, since no horizontal scroll bar
is present at the bottom of the screen, contents are lost, in a fashion similar
to what happens when a page with too wide a table is printed.

Work around:

Don't do that!
