I can't reproduce this with 1.7a on FreeBSD.

It is in Mozilla 1.7b on WinXP and (as far as i see) only if 
"Hide Tabbar when only one tab is open" is set as property.

So when you close tab 2 all tabs disappear AND the content of tab 1 disapears or
just the tabs.  If just the tabs disapear then that is what is suppose to happen
when "Hide Tabbar when only one tab is open" is checked.
If the content of tab 1 also disappears try a build without any extensions.

Confirming, i sometimes see this with a recent build in Mozilla. Maybe this is a
regression, but i'm not sure. OS is Windows 2000.

BTW: I used the Tab Close Button on the right side of the Tab Bar to close the
tab (i don't think you can reproduce this with Ctrl+W).
