1722260 - Tab height increases when audio plays which resizes window.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1714276

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[David Gutierrez]

Attachment: Shows the difference in height.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0

Steps to reproduce:

I was playing chess on chess.com and moved a piece which caused audio to play. Happened on my Linux computer and not my windows computer.

Actual results:

The tab title now said audio playing which caused the tab height to increase. This increase then caused the window to decrease in height and resize. This introduced a lot of movement. Especially since the website frequently plays short audio clips.

Expected results:

The tab title shoud have decreased in font size to allow for the audio playing text to not change the tab height.

I tried with nightly, a new profile, and in safe mode, but I get the same bug every time.
As for add-ons I have Facebook Container, GNOME Shell integration, Hoxx VPN Proxy, LastPass, NPM Package Search, Qwant, React Developer Tools, and uBlock Origin.

Do you notice that height difference with drive tab only or any tab you have simultaneously open?

All tabs seem to increase in size.

Hi David,
Unfortunately I'm still not able to reproduce on my end. Can you also attach your about:support information?
Does this happen with any other website or just chess.com?
Does it happen the first time you play or throughout your moves, as soon as "playing" appears, other tabs are affected?
Best,
Clara
