When I have a bunch of tabs open and I middle click to close a tab, the tabs move over causing me to click on the wrong tab.

Also when I middle click a link on a page it does the same thing with the page causing me to click on the wrong link.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open page in URL
2.Scroll down to about the middle of the page.
3.Middle click to open file in new tab.
4.Try a few time.  It might eventually do this.

1.Open a bunch of tabs.
2.Middle click to close a tab.
Actual Results:  
The tabs or page sometimes moves.

Expected Results:  
When middle clicking on tab is should close the tab.  When middle clicking on a link it should open the link in a new tab.

This seems to happen when I have a bunch of tabs open.  I also have Google Search results open in one tab.  I seem to notice this when using Google and middle clicking on the links to open a new tab to keep the google page open.
