[BUG?] Space between tab
-
@Ayespy Sorry for late reply. I don't know how that space happen. Just surfing internet as normal.
-
@siikheaw Certainly you create and close tabs?
-
Started to happen for me with 1.11.901.3, have to change tabs location or restart, it happens when closing a tab, sometimes.
-
@Ayespy Umm.. Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean?
-
@siikheaw What I mean is, such a space is likely to be created when you are doing some type of tab operation - moving tabs, stacking them, deleting a tab, making a new tab, pinning a tab, clicking on a link that creates a new tab, SOMETHING. At one moment, you would have no space, then you would DO SOMETHING with tabs, and then there it would be. Can you notice what you are doing when such a space appears?
-
I already report this (VB-30232) but I can't find the page where the bug are stored. Anyway @Ayespy for what I can say it happens normally, not by moving or swapping tabs.
I copy here for convenience the link to the video that I made for the bug-reportEdit:
Also, when this bug occours tabs acts like freezed. You can select it by left-click over, but it's impossibile to swap or rearranging, or having the tab-menu. -
I suspect it happens only with tabs on top; I had similar issue with vertical tabs a long time ago (maybe 1.2-1.3 branches). But now seems to work correctly. No gaps.
-
@Ayespy OK. I notice that it happened when I created many new tabs in a row (by clicking links). Then I closed some tabs in the middle, normally the tabs in the right should move to the left to replace the tab that I've closed, but they're not. They stucked in their position like there was something blocked them. Cannot move or create new tab to get rid of that space.

@siikheaw Sadly that description does still not help to reproduce it because it is about my normal workflow and despite being a massive tab hoarder (>50 tabs minimum) I have never being able to reproduce it apart from version 1.3 (long time ago) but even then I had to jump through burning hoops to do so.
Mind, I am not saying that this problem does not exist. There are a ton of bug reports for it, so there is something wrong, but only that something is still missing in the steps to reproduce it. It would be really nice if we could get a reliably reproducible step by step description like:
- take a fresh profile
- (optional, if something in the tab settings needs to be changed: Description here)
- open all links from this http page (URL) in new tabs
- close tab 4, 7, 9 (or drag them around or whatever is necessary)
- BAM! Broken
but probably that is asking a bit too much, so we must hope that we get lucky and stumble upon it on our own (and hoping that the tester who does remembers all necessary steps)
-
@QuHno I'm also concerned whether there may be a special hardware/extensions mix that makes this happen. It really seems a corner case, although it obviously happens reliably to a very few users.
-
@QuHno I understand that. Thank you.
-
@ohgodyetanotherusername It may be because you have the setting "open tabs in current tab stack" enabled. This will create stacks when you open new tabs from links.

This is not just a Windows bug - I have been getting the same thing on Linux.
1.12.955.36 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
I previously assumed it was either some extension I had installed or because I was using a tiling window manager which has its share of quirks, but now I'm having the same problem on a fresh install with no extensions added using Gnome. I don't know how to reproduce it - I've tried many times over the year or so that it has happened without success which is why I haven't logged a bug report about it. But it happens quite often, maybe an hour or so of usage and I can pretty much guarantee my tabs will be screwed up like this.
-
I have already seen that tab hole on a photo from a snapshot or such equivalent information page. I though it was a photo artifact but it doesn't finally. I wonder if this current bug may suggest new possibly feature so far to order easily tabs ; anyway this have made me to think about this then.

@gwen-dragon Hallelujah!
I constantly faced this problem 2 more years ago. When will the update be released?
