I'd like to see this bug reopened as I can reproduce this easily and have seen it for quite some time with Firefox on linux.

My steps to reproduce: (I used a new profile)

1) Uncheck "Hide the tab bar when only one web site is open" in preferences
2) Open a new tab
3) Close the first tab (left-most tab)

The first tab (left-most) is drawn too far left and it cuts off the left side of the tab.  While this is not a usability bug, it is quite unsightly.

Attachment: shows the tab discrepancy in question

Comment 6

[Joe Roback]

This still happens for me. 0.9.3 to 1.5.0.4

It's somehow related to the GTK theme. I once found a theme which it didn't happen, but that was some time ago. All the modern themes, clearlooks, etc still produce this ugly effect.

[Zach Spoelstra]

alright... I guess I'll go try to see what the clearlooks guys (that's what I'm using) have to say about this.
