New issue 7181 by stueeross: New Tab button has dead zone
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7181

Chrome Version       : 2.0.158.0
URLs (if applicable) : n/a
Other browsers tested: n/a

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click the New Tab button (see below for exact step)

What is the expected result?
A new tab opens

What happens instead?
Nothing

The New Tab button appears to have a dead zone whereby clicking in this
zone does nothing.
The zone appears to be a horizontal band across the whole width of the
button, from around the centre to the bottom of the plus sign.  Below and
above that the button is live.

You can test it without opening tons of tabs by left-clicking and holding:

Live: Button turns dark blue (slide the cursor off so as to avoid opening a
tab)
Dead: Colour remains the same (do what you like, it won't open a tab
anyway)

I find this annoying as it's quite a large proportion (approx 1/3) of quite
a small button and I catch it there often when trying to open a new tab.
Also, as a reflex, when a new tab doesn't appear I quickly click again.  If
the clicks are both in the dead zone it registers a double-click and
'restores' the entire window (reduces from full screen to small window).
