163470 - Browser tab "orphaned". Left in a state that it can't be closed but the tab is still visible.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 137477

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Jim Wilson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530

I have about 10 tabs open simultaneously. One of the tabs has been left in a
state where it can't be closed and no pages can be rendered in it. AAMOF, if you
select the tab to the right of it, via ctrl-pgdn or the mouse, the "orphaned"
tab looses it's left border and blends into the tab to it's left, making it look
like one huge tab instead of two separate ones. The title in the tab says
HTTP://... but when you click on the tab itself the Address bar across the top
of the browser says About:blank. I don't have a web page to post a picture, but
a screen shot can be made available for emailing.

Do you have any steps in order to reproduce the problem?
Can you please try again with a current build like 1.1RC1?

[Jim Wilson]

Unfortunately, no I can't reproduce it at will -- about all I can offer is a 
screen shot. It happened while I was in the middle of doing 20 different 
things. I looked up an noticed an odd border on 1 of the tabs. When I tried to 
close it my requests where ignored; the tab remained open, but I got no message 
that it couldn't be closed either. If I attempt to enter a URL it just stares 
at me.

I can try RC1, but I'm not certain I could reproduce it even with the version I 
have. Is RC1 a debug build? I've kinda got used to the speed of the release 
build and don't want to give it up.  :-)

Sounds to me this is a mix of two seperate bugs. One the unclosable tab, bug
137477, followed by a mild case of chrome corruption (bug 153864 or similar)
causing the tabs to blend together.

After looking at 137477 I agree; this one seems to be the same problem. I did 
search before posting, but I guess I used the wrong key words...
