566895 - Tabs in Gmail are not displayed correctly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Rob Stoecklein]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

While logged on to Gmail, the left-side tabs have incorrect vertical spacing. For example, there's extra space between Inbox and Buzz, or Sent Mail and Drafts, or even multiple sets of extra spaces. As I click on the various tabs, the spacing shifts but is still not right.

I've tried this on IE and Chrome and it works fine in those browsers, so I'm guessing it is a FF issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
All I have to do is login to Gmail using FF (3.6.3) and the tab spacing is wrong.



An image would help describe this visual problem, but I haven't seen where to upload one yet.

You can also try to reproduce in Firefox 4 Beta 8 or later, there are many improvements in the new version, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

This problem appears in Firefox 3.6.13, however:
this problem does NOT appear in Firefox 3.6.13 in safe mode, and
this problem does NOT appear in Firefox 4.0b8.
All is good now.
