This has been happening only with the last two nightly builds that I've
downloaded. I'm loosing data and now have to close tabs by clicking on the tab
then clicking all the way to the right on the 'x'. What a pain. Please fix.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new tab (anyway you like.)
2. Open another tab (that makes three or more tabs.)
3. Say you want to close tab two, right mouse click on the tab.
4. Choose from the contextual menu 'close tab'.
5. BAMB, the tab next to it closes!
Actual Results:  
The wrong tabbed window closed.

Expected Results:  
Closed only the tabbed window I right click on.

Happend only with the last two nightly builds I've downloaded (well I skipped a
night I think ;)

WorksForMe using FizzillaMach/2003-05-20-08-trunk. [e-mail], can you
reproduce this problem using another Mozilla user profile?

Hello,
 Yes, I created a new profile just now and it still happens. I repeated this
three times or more. The first one I wasn't clear of the result but it clearly
happened the next three times. I did notice more about the bug however, no
matter what tab you right click to close, it closes the 'active' or
'highlighted' tab. Please fix back to several days ago build so I can get my
tabs useful again.
 All the best,
 Brian

Does this happen in both the classic and modern skin, or only the classic skin?

Reporter: are you sure it's only the last two nightlies, or could it be earlier?
I suspect a checkin on the 15th.

(which would show up in the build of the 16th)
