485509 - dragging any tab past another one, seems to result in choppy visual feedback.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: Tabbed Browsing, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en; rv:1.9.0.8pre) Gecko/2009032700 Camino/2.0b3pre (like Firefox/3.0.8pre)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en; rv:1.9.0.8pre) Gecko/2009032700 Camino/2.0b3pre (like Firefox/3.0.8pre)

when dragging a tab past another tab in recent nightly camino 2.0 beta builds, there seems to be a certain point at which the tab dragging animation will appear to be quite choppy and slow.

this is occurring under os x 10.4.11, on a macbook pro intel core duo (yonah
variation), with the latest software updates installed and no "haxies" being
utilized.

p.s. this is quite different from the tabbed browsing bug reported before this. that bug occurs after dropping a tab into a new location, while this one occurs while in the process of doing so.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open up 2 or 3 web pages in separate tabs.
2. drag one tab to another location.
Actual Results:  
before the selected tab reaches its new location, there appears to be some minor disturbances of slow/choppy visual feedback.

Expected Results:  
the tab should reach its new spot with ease and sit there snugly, safe and sound.

no additional information necessary. this problem is easily reproducible.

Based on comment 5, closing WORKSFORME. We don't have any idea what might have been causing it, and Eiichi couldn't reproduce on 10.4.
