Active tab changes while just scrolling #171

I am facing some weird behavior, when I hover my mouse pointer to Tab Center and scroll using two finger scroll, sometimes tabs start switching. I have a lot tabs open, and it seems like when scrolling reaches very top or bottom, further scrolling starts changing active tab.

I am using firefox on Fedora 23 on Thinkpad T530.

@ericawright can you repro?

We couldn't reproduce this.

I am sorry to hear that, on my side it happens quite easily and frequently.

Here is the video showing what happens: https://www.dropbox.com/s/65indehuda1wtxm/tabcenter.mkv?dl=0

I also see this behavior, but on further exploration, it seems that what's happening is that when I scroll left or right, it switches tabs very rapidly. I think what's happening is that my vertical scrolling isn't perfectly vertical, so the horizontal motion is turned into a switch-tab action.

bwinton commented 8 years ago

Wait, is horizontal scrolling to switch tabs a default behaviour, or is that provided by an add-on?

glasserc commented 8 years ago

I think it's provided by Tab Center. When I disable Tab Center, scrolling vertically or horizontally while over the tab bar just scrolls the tab bar.

This is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192327, of which there is a suggestion that it may be fixed in what I think will be Firefox 49. I’m using Nightly at present with this extension (rather than Tree Style Tab on stable as I have on another device) and I’m not observing the described behaviour.
