1. Open the testcases in tabs 2. Open some more tabs Result: Tab titles leak out of the tabs and draw inconsistently. Expected: Tab titles should not leak out of their tabs.

Interesting - it seems surprising to me that when we draw the text of the tab title, we apparently don't have a clip region in place that prevents any drawing outside of the tab itself.
FWIW, bug #901536 also causes spillover (as one of the less serious problems). https://bug901536.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=785812

It seems that this bug is not reproducible anymore (in tabs bar) in Firefox 46.0 on Windows. Though this bug yet occurs in the menu, see the screenshot attached.
