Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:148.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/148.0

Steps to reproduce:

Vertical Tabs are enabled and collapsed (not expanded, to save on screen space).

Actual results:

When I move the mouse over the tabs, the set of tabs expands so then I can read the full titles of all pages. However, observing with bpytop, CPU usage goes from about 2.2% to 80% once it expands the sidebar fully.

Expected results:

CPU usage should not spike.
