Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 304456

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Arjun Prabhu]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

In Fx 1.5 beta 1, there is a new feature which lets us re-arrange the tab by
dragging the tabs.

This feature does not work as expected.
When i drag and drop a tab to a new position, it looks like the tab is moved,
but when i actually click on the tab, the contents of the earlier tab that was
there is displayed.

Check out the "steps to reproduce" for further details.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Eg: Lets assume we have two tabs. Tab A and Tab B in first and second position.

Initially, Tab A displays lets say Yahoo Mail, and Tab B displays Gmail.
I drag the Tab B to first position. ie, Gmail to position 1.

The Not the Tab at position 1 displays the title as GMail, but when i click on
it, I can see yahoo mail content. 

Hope this is clear.

Actual Results:  
Could see the contents of the tab that was originaly at that position

Expected Results:  
Should have seen the contents of the newly positioned tab.

- Tried from two different installs.

This is likely a duplicate of bug 304456, so resolving as such.

Reporter - if you are not using the "focus last selected tab" (FLST) extension,
or if you can reproduce the bug in safe-mode (see
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode), please re-open this.
