Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 107848

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

If you try to close a tab by right-clicking the lower area of a tab (a few
pixels high from the bottom), the active tab does not close instead all the tabs
are hidden. Btw, I've set my tabs' preferences to hide tabs when there is one
left. If you have set to be always visible, nothing will happen when you do this
procedure.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure preferences set to hide tab when only one is open
2. have a few tabs open and right-click a tab the lower portion of an active tab


Actual Results:  all tabs hidden

Expected Results:  close current tab

This problem only happens to me if I got 2 tabs open. I can't reproduce it with
3 tabs.

If the problem only happens with 2 tabs, then this is a dup of bug 107848

Reporter: which theme do you see this in? With the lower area, do you mean the
bar that runs under the tabs? How many tabs do you have open?

This is probably a dup of bug 107848. Though I could have sworn it happened with
more then two tabs before. But when I try it again, it only occurs when there's
two tabs open with some regularity. Also, for me that background/inactive tab is
actually hidden not closed by this action. You bring it back with Ctrl-T.

By lower area, I meant the thin horizontal bar at the bottom on the active tab.
When it does occur, you can usually do it by right-clicking the bottom-most area
of the active tab. However, if you open a new window with a couple of tabs, it
does not seem to affect this new window. 

I use pinball as my main theme though I could reproduce it using modern.

The Ctrl+T thing it's also described in the other bug, so marking this one as dup.
