Starting with Thunderbird 5 I think, focus rings are shown on tabs labels. As soon as the ring is drawn, the tab grows by 1-2 pixels (vertically). This should be fixed or the focus ring be removed (Firefox does not shoe focus rings on tabs)
I agree that we should just remove the focus ring in this case…

Andreas, Paenglab, did either of you want to take this?

Thanks,
Blake.
Note that on Windows and Linux, the focus ring appears when tabbing to the, well, tab. Not sure about Mac.

This patch fixes the enlargement on focus with fixing the selector.

I added both patches so you can decide if you want to remove the focus ring or fix the problem. :-)

Of course, I meant on Firefox here. :)

Fixing the issue (i.e. not removing the focus-ring) is probably the best way, since we shouldn't regress accessibility if at all possible.

Remove the focus ring

Uh, yeah, I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking of when I said "remove it"...
