I use gvim 7.0 on Windows XP, and I always have multiple tabs open. I use a custom tabline, but this bug is visible with the default tabline as well.
When I am bored and thinking about what to code I often play around with the mouse selecting text and dragging around inside gvim. Normally if you select text and drag the cursor off the bottom of the window then the text scrolls up, as you would expect. If you drag off the top of the window, passing over the tabline, then gvim essentially freezes until you release the mouse button. The text does not scroll in any direction, and you can wave the cursor over the window as much as you like and the same text selection will remain. Without the tabline visible this behaviour does not happen, and the text scrolls as expected. It looks like whatever grabs the cursor to allow you to click on the tabs to select them is grabbing the cursor when you pass over the tabline and refuses to release it until you release the cursor. I doubt there is a fix for this, so I suppose this email is serving rather more like a bug report, I'm just not sure if there is a better forum to announce this, and I'm sure I remembered someone saying bugs should be reported here!
