BUG: TabBar Autoscrolling to unknown positions with MultiRow after Opening/Closing a tab

[Apocalypse612]

On the latest Firefox revision. First, thanks for these extensions. AMAZING.

I have an odd issue that I can't seem to fix through the config, as follows:

When opening or closing a tab, the tabbar appears to jump up or down to a seemingly random position. I have the close tab to focus left, so I'm not sure what's going on. I have about 100 tabs open divided into 4 rows. I DO NOT want the tabbar to jump around like when completing either of these actions.

What am I doing wrong here? Is this a bug or a user issue?

THANKS!

It appears as though this issue only triggers when interacting with the last tab. It even auto scrolls the tabbar when reopening a closed tab for some unknown reason.

Try new version

Tab mix Plus version 1.20.0 is out.

Verify that all your firefox-scripts are up-to-date https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus/files/14075743/fx-folder.zip https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus/files/14075742/utils_extensions_and_scripts.zip

I am using that and just installed this version today.

Further, I found a workaround/solution, but the original bug still exists. Options --> Mouse --> Mouse Gestures --> Switch to last selected tab when clicking current one.

Having this setting on (off be default) is a workaround to the the above bug.

When you close tab in multi-row, the tab bar scrolls to show the new selected tab

Hello,

Unfortunately, I have the same problem as author. Today I've installed ver. 1.21.1 with current utils/scripts on Firefox 128.0.3 (official Mozilla linux binaries) on Debian 12. After enabling multi row tab bar (my preferred) I'm unable to make it focus on/scroll to just opened/newest tab (blank or link from other tab). My tabs are opening at the end of the list (properly) but the tabs on bar are scrolled randomly. When I show the tab list, the newly opened tab is highlighted as bold (active), but the tab bar is not scrolled to this opened tab properly. The workaround with mouse gesture didn't help unfortunately. I have about 2000 tabs in my window so it is very painful to scroll the tab list to the last tab. Unfortunately clicking and selecting the tab on the list doesn't scroll to the tab properly either on the bar . I had to turn off the multi row view for now.

I'll be glad for any suggestions. Thanks!

@janciorules,

can you attach a file with your complete Tab Mix Plus preferences?

[janciorules]

I did export the configuration from the extension menu. Is it enough?

TMPpref.gz

@janciorules,

yes, this is exactly what I did in the previous post, Can you see the attached file?. I exported preferences to the text file called "TMPpref" and then gzipped it. You can decompress it using 7-zip (Windows) or gzip (Linux/Unix). And then open it in any text editor.

I open the file you attached. I was not sure it was the right file, since multirow was off.

Sorry, my fault, I exported after disabling Multi Row. Here's the proper file. With this configuration, when I

• open [+] new/blank tab
• open a link from other tab/website
• choose highlighted (bold) tab from the tab list

tab bar doesn't scroll to the chosen/new tab as expected

@janciorules,

I was not able to reproduce this issue on windows 11 and windows 10, i will try to test it on Linux next week

[janciorules]

Today I tested several scenarios:

• windows 10 + Firefox 128 (fresh profile, 1 windows, 112 tabs) = Multi Row worked properly
• the same Linux + Firefox 128 original profile as earlier, opened another browser window (with 146 tabs) = Multi Row worked properly
• at the same time Linux/Firefox Window (with 2255 tabs) = Multi Row didn't work properly (autoscroll)
• windows 10 + Firefox 128 (imported whole profile from Linux, all windows, tabs 2255 tabs) = Multi Row didn't work properly (autoscroll)

so for now it seems that there's a problem with scrolling so many tabs in multi row configuration.

[pyrates999]

which Linux distro did you test with if I may ask?

Debian 12 Bookworm. But I'm using firefox downloaded from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ not the Debian packages

[pyrates999]

Ok, thanks. I figure it be useful in trying to verify the bug.

Do you see any message in your browser console when scroll failed?
