148262 - tab will not close

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 131188

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[John S. Musarra]

I'm using RC3 (2002052306) on Win98SE.

I middle-clicked a link to open it in a new tab - as far as I can tell, the link
did not finish loading. When I tried to close the tab by clicking the 'X' on the
right side of the tab bar, nothing happened. Similarly, nothing happened when
selecting "Close Tab" from the tab context menu. I was able to get rid of teh
tab by closing ALL other tabs, leaving the dead as the only open tab, which, for
me, causes the tab bar to hide. Upon restoration of the tab bar by opening a new
tab, all tabs behaved properly. I found a report of similar behavior in a <a
href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107848#c11">comment</a> on bug
107848.

reporter, is the tab you couldn't close the second tab to be opened (bug 131188)
or another tab (bug 137477)?

this is a duplicate, its just a case of what its a duplicate of

Yep, it's 131188, it was the second tab that refused to close. Guess I need to
hone up my bug-searching skills. Sorry for the dup!
