626598 - unable to rip maximized firefox off the screen when too many tabs open

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 624129

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Dave]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b10pre) Gecko/20110117 Firefox/4.0b10pre

firefox leaves no space (draggable area) when the tabs move up in maximized mode.

chrome (i tried iron) leaves at least a small spot between the tabs and the minimize icon empty no matter how many tabs currently opened.

this area can be used to drag the window.

in windows 7 one can drag a maximized window and in that way rip it of the monitor-edges and quickly throw the window in to the normal state.

this works perfectly when only a few tabs are open
(seems like 6 tabs is the maximum for a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels)
since there is still space between tabs and the minimize-button to grab with your mouse.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open firefox
2. maximize firefox
3. open a new tab
4. redo step 3 until the tabs get smaller since they run out of space
5. try to find a draggable area to drag the window off the screen
Actual Results:  
it's really hard to find some draggable area
(there are a few pixels - but they are to few to be caught fast)

Expected Results:  
some free area to drag the window

This is going to be fixed in bug 624129 by adding a draggable space to the right of the tab strip. It will also will allow double click to restore the window.
