While using FireFox I encountered a non-critical bug. I am using Win Home XP sp2
and this bug involves the tabbed browsing system. Once I middle click a link and
open a new tab the scroll icon appears at the top of the window on the divider
between the tab and the web page. The only way I have found to get rid of it is
to close all tabs to return to a by-window-browsing but the artifact of the
scroll icon still exists on the screen above all content. The only way to remove
that is to place the mouse cursor over the artifact and middle click refreshing
the scroll cursor over the artifact.

The scroll icon only appears over the second tab. I can open new tabs and
continue browsing normally with this problem but while tabs are open its
impossible to remove the scroll icon over the second tab. While browsing the web
page its distracting to see two scroll icons on the screen at once and threw my
own forced habits I constantly try to remove the problem while I’m browsing.

I hope this report helps to improve FireFox, it’s my favorite browser and I plan
on using it even if serious should arise. Thanks for taking this report and
thank you for making a top-notch browser!


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. middle click to open new tab

Actual Results:  
a scroll icon appears over the second tab

Expected Results:  
the tabs should have appeared whith out the artifact

WFM.  I think it may be a mouse driver issue on your end.  Have you tried
updating to the latest drivers for your pointing device?  Opening a link by
middle clicking didn't cause an issue with any one of my 3 pointing devices on
this computer (it's a laptop) so I am thinking it is a driver issue.  Going
ahead and marking this.
