310034 - opening many tabs lets new ones disappear

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Other Applications :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[Sven Krohlas]

Imagine you are connected to some servers/channels. Your whole tab bar is
filled. And then you open more channels/servers/queries.

Expected: resize the tabs (like Mozilla/Firefox) so that all tabs fit into the
tab bar.
Current behaviour: new tabs are added right to tha last tab without resizing. So
the new tabs are invisible (you can navigate to them using keyboard shortcuts).

This way you may miss queries.

This WORKSFORME with the latest ChatZilla in both Firefox and XULRunner.

Your bug report is also lacking in any useful information.

Attachment: screenshot

A picture says more than a thousand words. ;-)
Taken a few seconds ago with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1)
Gecko/20050924 SeaMonkey/1.1a
Note: The window shows a query with the User L, but the tab is not visible
anymore as too many tabs are open.

That the screenshot shows nothing new or useful at all. And you still didn't
provide the useful information [1] that is nessessary to confirm this bug (oh
wait, you used your Bugzilla perms and marked it as confirmed already, even
though it isn't).

[1] ChatZilla version number, ffs.

Maybe i'm beside myself today, the shot shows the problem clearly, imho. Did you
understand my problem description?

The version is the one delivered with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050924 SeaMonkey/1.1a, that's the latest SeaMonkey nightly,
and contains Chatzilla 0.9.67+ [SeaMonkey 1.1a/2005092404]. I can also see this
bug with a 1.8 branch build as I've also said already.

The problem is not your description, but the fact that the picture did not add
any extra information - I already knew exactly what you had described, but you
still failed to provide the version number which is by far the most important
thing. :)

Anyway, you need to upgrade ChatZilla. The bug has been fixed for months and
months in the 0.9.68.x range.

*damn*
Allright, the reason I use the suite is that I don't want to take care of
extensions... but I'm sure it will land sooner or later on the trunk.

Marking WFM.
