Has anyone noticed a change in the results when moving tabs? When
several tabs are opened, clicking on a tab and dragging it to another
position, indicated by an arrow above the tab, used to just move the tab
to the indicated position. Now when I click on a tab, the arrow can be
moved either to the middle of another tab, in which case the moved tab
replaces the tab the arrow is over, or the arrow can be moved between
tabs, in which case the moved tab is duplicated in the new position.
It's the duplicating that's a problem. I want to just move the tab, not
copy it.
My settings under Preferences/Browser/Tabbed browsing:
Checked:
Hide tab bar when only one tab is open
Switch to new tabs opened from links
Replace existing tabs
Open tabs...
Middle-click...
Ctrl+Enter...
TIA
Also useing SM 2.61.1, XP-SP3, and I can duplicate this. Using Classic
Firefox Theme for SM v0.0.10, and SeaTab X v1.1.3 plugins.
Disabling/removing the Classic FF theme makes no difference, but killing
the SeaTab X plugin does. It appears THAT is the culprit, but since
I've never used the 'move tabs' function, I've never verified that. If
you're using the same or some other plugins associated with tabs and
their controls (closing/renaming/resizing,coloring, etc.) then try
disabling those to work out which one(s) is affecting the behavior.
Thanks for the help. SeaTab X is the culprit. Disabling it restores
tab behavior to normal. Found this on the SeaTab X web site:
"Development ended on Mostly Crystal and all extensions as of SeaMonkey
version 2.15.
All theme and extension files are no longer available."
I really liked the little x on the tab that closed it. Anyone know of
an add-on that works with 2.16.1, at least for the next 6 weeks?
According to the Add-Ons search, the closest thing is a right-click menu
tool that is accessed anywhere inside the tab window of the page being
viewed, to close that page. But I agree, the X on the tab name is the
simplest, most direct and obvious means of closing any tab at any time.
EVERY single other implementation, internal to SM or any add-on, makes
it so that you have to have focus on the tab you want to close, before
you can close it.
I'm a firm believer in working smarter, not harder, but this flies in
the face of that. I wish I had the time to become a programmer so I
could write my own such tool, but it's just not possible.
It would help my understanding if someone involved in the coding or
review process could explain the logic of using 2 steps to take the
action instead of one. Takers?
