435666 - Tab Bar not hiding away properly, in fullscreen mode

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 490621

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[eddie.mag]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0

When viewing a page in fullscreen, with only one tab open, there is a line visible at the top of the screen. This line flickers on and off screen when putting the mouse cursor over it.

Similarly, when you have several tabs open, and you go fullscreen, the tab bar doesn't hide completely, there is still a line at the top of the screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open firefox, press F11.
2. Put mouse cursor over the line at the top.
3. Notice how the line flickers, subsequently making your homepage flicker up and down.
Actual Results:  
Firefox did what I said it would do.

Expected Results:  
I should be able to go fullscreen and not have a line at the top of the screen, even with more than one tab open. The Tab Bar should hide away without leaving that line at the top.

i was using the default skin for Firefox3 RC1.

the line is intended by design. the flickering is gone (can't remember the bugreport though, wasn't fullscreen mode specific).

fullscreen with single tab appears to be goofed up in multiple ways

describing comment 2 in bug 417812 with screen shots. but I think this bug is invalid or wontfix, per design of bug 24085
