Since FF is now embracing the tab bar even more, which I find good and I want to use, I see it clashing with software which adds additional buttons to the window decoration.

In my case I'm using the NVidia driver to add a button for "Move window to next monitor" which now overlays with the tab bar.

In my case I've also the "With open" extension which also uses the space and whose IE icon is behind the new button, I think because the tab bar thinks it can use the whole space when it shouldn't.

Even when not using "With open" extension to show the other browser button, things are overlapping (i.e. Panorama).

That's a kinda bad side-effect users can experience with customized title bars. Something we can do for Firefox 4?

Does this happen in Chrome?

I'd accept a patch, but I wouldn't hold ship for this.

That happens for all kind of applications which put custom buttons in the title bar.

Since there's no movement...
I am not sure whether it is the same thing, but the cause will probably be.

Win XP SP3 with hacked uxtheme.dll (file version 6.0.2900.5512) and Luna Element 5 (Black Compact) - http://tornado5.deviantart.com/art/Luna-Element-5-0-5-29511577

The window control buttons should look (and they do when Menu bar is enabled) connected, condensed. Instead, they are poorly located (too high) and not connected (screenshot attached).

Does this have the same reason as the bug, or should I file a separate one? Can it be repaired by, say, some css changes? Or is it a bug in the theme?

Attaching the comparison of window control buttons states without and with Menu bar enabled:

Looks like bug 610335. Is that using the xpize or something else? (Might also be bug 641223).

Ugh. Didn't find that one. Or the other one. That's it.
Xpize uses Luna Element which is my theme too. I guess someone can delete last four comments from here.
Thanks!
