324259 - browser.tabs.tabClipWidth does not immediately affect first tab when second tab is opened

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060121 Firefox/1.6a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060121 Firefox/1.6a1

When browser.tabs.tabClipWidth is less than the default/maximum tab width (i.e., less than 250) and a new tab is opened (causing both to shrink to less than 250px wide), the first tab ignores browser.tabs.tabClipWidth and always displays the close tab button.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set browser.tabs.tabClipWidth to 249 and verify that browser.tabs.autoHide is false.
2. Size a new browser window to <500 pixels wide
3. Open a new tab (for a total of two open tabs)

Actual Results:  
Both tabs display the close tab button

Expected Results:  
Only the new tab should display the close tab button

As soon as the original tab is focused or the window is resized, the browser seems to "remember" and applies the browser.tabs.tabClipWidth setting.

This appears to be fixed in RC3. (It was probably fixed long before then, but I haven't tested since filing this bug.)

->WORKSFORME since we can't pinpoint what patch fixed this.
