197658 - ctrl-tab in gtk2 build repeatedly cycles through tabs instead of skipping to next tab

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Gtk, defect)

Description

[ash]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313

I use tabbed browing a lot, and sometimes when i try to go from one tab to the
next using ctrl-tab or to the previous using shift-ctrl-tab, mozilla starts
cycling through the tabs.  eventually it stops, but usually not before skpping
over at least 5 tabs.

usually this happens when i have 7 tabs open and i'm on the 4th, linuxtoday.com,
and i'm trying to get to the 5th, slashdot.org.  i hit ctrl-tab and instead of
skipping to the very next tab, mozilla goes to the next tab, then goes to tab 6,
7, 1, 2, and eventually it stops on a somewhat random tab.  this is not 100%
reproducible, but it happens maybe every other or every 3rd time i try to switch
between these 2 tabs.  Switching between other tabs seems to trigger the problem
less frequently.

i'm using the 1.3 release rpms for rh 8.0, gtk2 on an rh8.0 system.  the same
problem happened with 1.3b.

here's the deal:  This bug was really easy for me to reproduce using every
redhat 8 kernel or kernel update, but now that i've upgraded to a 2.5.66
self-built kernel, it's impossible to reproduce.  i'm not going back to 2.4 i
don't think, so i'm no longer personally concerned about this bug.  but if
someone needs help reproducing it, let me know and i can reboot.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
