251978 - opening a lot of new tabs hides close-tab-button and hides new tabs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221684

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[theurmel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040716 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040716 Firefox/0.9.1+

When you open a lot of new tabs (in my case 41) the tabs appear over the "close
tab"-button, making it hard to click. Also, every new tab is not shown in the
tabbar, but is still accessible with CTRL+TAB.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Open a lot of new tabs (press and hold CTRL+T)

Actual Results:  
A tab appeared over the close button and the new tabs I opened weren't shown.

Expected Results:  
Extend the tabbar (with scrolling buttons for example or opened a new tabbar)

- Using the standart firefox theme
- Is not limited to the recent builds, also present in 0.8 and perhaps earlier
versions.
