Shift that mouse down a few millimeters and all the history of the issue you're looking at (including the page with the links that spawned the tabs in the first place) is GONE GONE GONE. Chris

At least he is not the same person who decided the keyboard commands for "close window" and "quit" should be next to each other.

Any emacs users ever instinctively tried to reformat a textarea form submission in a browser? ;)

Because that's an unlikely key combination to ever be accidentally (and, potentially, embarassingly) pressed.
From: Ann Barcomb Date: 16:33 on 14 Aug 2003 Subject: Re: close tab/close other tabs I want to jump in on the hating Mozilla thread. I have a big problem with pasting to and from the browser. I don't know if this is a problem with X, my window manager, or Mozilla, but I don't have the same problem with other applications. When I highlight a URL or text in the page and then try to paste it in to an xterm, I'm far more likely to get whatever I highlighted before I touched the browser. It usually takes 3 or 4 tries to get it right. And when I try to paste a URL in to the browser, I generally get whatever I last highlighted in Mozilla, rather than what's in the xterm, especially if I switched to another virtual desktop. Next, what is the point of the 'about:blank' text that shows up if you open a new tab and then return to an old tab without typing in a URL? It's not as if this text automatically vanishes as soon as you start typing something in. Nor does the browser simply ignore it if it appears in your URL. No, you have to delete it yourself every time. It also appears if you do type in a URL, but then switch to another tab without actually trying to fetch the page. Why, when it is trying to auto-complete URLs, does it always seem to go for the very obscure URL rather than the one I have visited more often? Instead of trying http://somesite.com, the first thing it will offer is http://somesite.com/some/very/long/path?with=args. Mozilla also can't process commands like cntrl-T or cntrl-N when it is busy contacting a site. In the morning, I like to open a new tab, type in the URL, and then go on to opening the next one while it is fetching the first. But I can only open the next tab when the first is mostly done. It doesn't even delay the command; it just eats it. Finally, when I'm filling in a form field, and then return to paste in some text, the place where the text is pasted is usually wrong. It's not where I was last typing, and it's not where the mouse is positioned, either. Often the field isn't even selected any longer. I have this problem with every browser though, so maybe it's me and not Mozilla. And despite that, Mozilla is my favorite browser. Everything else I've tried is even worse.

Must have gone to the same school as the X-Chat guy who decided having the close channel tab button take up 1/3 of the tab itself.
