151157 - Tab-slider not visible in window opened by JavaScript

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 143866

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Robert Hofmann]

From Bugzilla Helper:

I open a link in window opend by JavaScript without any bar

userbase = window.open('../ub_detail.asp?id=' + id,'userbase' +
id,'width=600,height=500,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');

I open a second page as tab in it (by using right mouse-button over the link and
selecting "Open link in new tab"). The page will be opened, but I do not get a
tab-slider (I hope it is called like this?) so that I can switch between the
different tabs.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a new window with JS, e.g. userbase = window.open('../ub_detail.asp?id='
+ id,'userbase' +
id,'width=600,height=500,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');

2. open a link displaied in this window as tab using right mouse menu "Open link
in new tab"



Actual Results:  No tab-slider to switch between different tabs.

Expected Results:  A tab-slider for every window I open as tab.

In some of the previous betas I used to have the tab-sliders as expected. I do
not know since when this does not work anymore...

Problem still present...

Comment 2

[Robert Hofmann]

This bug still exists in 2003030704... It is very annoying because I am not able
to open tabs in any kind of popup-window.

Either tabs should NOT work in popups or they should be shown as it worked
already  before this bug was introduced...

Can you attach a small testcase ?

Yes... ASAP...

I have also found this issue to be an inconvenience.

Since no testcase has yet been provided, I made a demonstration that is
available at http://www.hut.fi/u/tsknorri/mozilla/popup_tab.html .

While looking for a minimal test case I came to the conclusion that the
tab-slider is missing from pop-up windows when both 'toolbar=no' and
'location=no' have been used in the window features (third parameter to the
window.open() function call).
