I just realized that we are breaking the Aero glass effect related to window size in tab view. Easiest way to describe what is happening is to attach a video. expected behavior: the effect is based only on the actual size of the window, and not the position of a tab or tab group.

It seems to be related to the focussed tab/group. For some reason Microsoft Windows Areo seems to want to move the highlight bar based on focus. May be because it is fooled by the way the rendering engine uses windows handles?

I'm actually not seeing the bug with the currently nightly build. Did anything change that might have independently solved this?

Install my Nautipolis theme to better see the effect. It seems to happen not always, one needs to select another tabgroup and move that around sometimes.
Try using this CSS code to see what is happening better : @-moz-document url("chrome://browser/content/tabview.html"){ #bg{display:none} }
I don't notice this bug anymore on Firefox 4 Beta 9, with Windows 7 x32. Strange, I always thought this was a feature :P
The patch for bug 591652 seems to fix this.
Reopen if you can confirm that isn't fixed somehow.
