177982 - Tabbed browser context disappears when previous tab is closed via right mouse/control click

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 173703

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Brett Koonce]

I'm sorry if this is a dupe.  I've spent the last 30 minutes looking through
bugzilla for a match.

Anyways, here's what's going on:

Open a window.  Type in a url (google.com).  Create a new tab. Load something
into the new tab's context.  Right/control click on the former window and hit
"Close Tab".

The result is that the entier window disappears, to be replaced by a grey context.

If you create a new tab, the content will magically reappear in the old tab.

Note: this only happens when killing the background tabs on the left.  Ones on
the right have no difficulties with this.  This happens with the window -> two
tab transistion as well as the 2->3+ tabs transistion.

I'm seeing this on Jaguar and a recent nightly:  Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC
Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021101

I also noticed this behaviour on the 1.2b release.  I'll write the build # in
here in a second (the nightly forced me to move my Library Folder).

If this is not a dupe, I think it should be fixed for 1.2 final.
