Thanks but that did not help.

I tried both true and false and restarting the browser after toggling but that made no difference.

P.S. Forgot to mention I'm running Nightly version.

Have you tried with a new profile and only TMP installed yet?

Ray, I've just done that and TMP worked as expected. I then imported my settings from my main profile and the same problem occurred.

Here are my settings: http://uploading.com/files/1mb868m6/TMPpref.txt/ - I've tried all sorts of combinations of settings but can't figure out what is causing the problem.

Installed Tab Mix Plus Dev-Build 0.3.8.6pre.110416a..

unable to change the tab-width in tab mix plus options when" Classic Compact Options" 4.0.8 addon is enabled ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... /versions/ )

works fine with earlier versions of tab mix plus

Possibly fallout from the changes for the bug landing (2nd Bullet Item):


Thank, again for the update onemen.

look here http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Events_-_Tab_Features
when you enable Show tab previews - then Firefox control the selecting tab not Tabmix. on one Ctrl-tab Firefox move to the last tab that opened in the background or to the last selected if no new tab opened after last selection change.

turn off Show tab previews and test how it work

OK, now I have a different problem with 'Show tab previews' off.

I have tabs open: A, B, C.

I'm on 'C' and open links from that tab in new tabs -> 1, 2, 3

I CTRL+TAB and expect to go to tab '1' - but I'm taken to 'A'.

P.S. I wasn't sure from your reply: do you consider the issue with 'Show tab preview' a bug and plan to fix it so that we can use tab preview and still have the 'correct' tab switching behaviour?

first i'm going to fix the bug in Tabmix (when 'Show tab previews' is off), this is bug is from 110402b after i'v fixed Ctrl-tab Popup list isn't working as expected when there are hidden tabs

the behavior when 'Show tab previews' is on is the same from the day this feature exist in Firefox, so i'm worry that if i'm change it now, many user can find the new behavior unexpected.

I'm getting reports of the latest dev build of TMP having a broken max tab width when used with my theme extension Classic Compact Options. I haven't cracked open the latest TMP yet to see what you changed, but what I notice from the options panel is that it appears you have changed how you store this preference value. Since FF3.0 Classic Compact Options has used what was the Firefox about:config setting for this "browser.tabs.tabClipWidth". Prior to the latest dev build, TMP also used this value, which ensured the two add ons played together nicely.

It appears that you are now using a new variable as the "browser.tabs.tabClipWidth" value does not change when TMP's max tab width value changes. What is happening is that Classic Compact Option's style rules that set the max tab width are overriding TMP's style rules and since TMP has changed where its value for this option comes from it appears that TMP's tab max tab width is broken.

The problem for me is that all my previous users have their preference stored in "browser.tabs.tabClipWidth" and if I change this setting location to be compatible with the latest TMP those users will lose their preference setting on the next update of CCO. In addition Classic Compact Options will no longer be compatible with TMP 0.3.8.5.

I just pushed the latest version of CCO to AMO this past week and really didn't plan to push a new version of CCO out for at least a month. The change made in the latest TMP is really going to cause headaches.

Can you please explain why the design change was made to TMP & what the new setting is? I'd also like to encourage you to go back to using the setting we both have been using for a couple of years now so that we don't cause an apparent compatibility issue.

Max tab width is also broken for me WITHOUT classic compact options installed. I do however have the theme walnut2 installed.

Tabmix never used "browser.tabs.tabClipWidth" for setting Tab max width
this preference is use to control when to hide the close button on tabs that are smaller then the value of browser.tabs.tabClipWidth.

Tabmix use browser.tabs.tabMaxWidth and browser.tabs.tabMinWidth.
starting the latest build Tabmix no longer set tab with on each tab but uses dynamic css rule, the problem is that Classic Compact set min-width and max-width with !important so its override Tabmix settings.

in total we have 3 problems
1. you set max width by browser.tabs.tabClipWidth and tabmix by browser.tabs.tabMaxWidth
2. your css rule is for .tabbrowser-tab[fadein]:not([pinned]) Tabmix used only .tabbrowser-tab:not([pinned])
3. your css is with !important

my workaround for all of the above is to set in Tabmix this rule dynamically

Fantastic. Thank you.



I understand - although do you think the stronger argument is that CTRL+TAB behaviour should be consistent in each case? It seems wrong that CTRL+TAB behaves differently just because we have tab previews enabled. Maybe an option for us to choose? Even if it is simply a boolean in about:config?

Thanks for all your help with these problems.

This was helpful, I'm not sure how my confusion with tabClipWidth and tabMaxWidth came into being in CCO. I'll get this fixed with CCO v4.0.8.1 that I will push to AMO this weekend. Hopefully that will eliminate this conflict between our two addons.

Once we are using the same about:config setting for max tab width the problem will go away as users get upgraded to CCO v4.0.8.1.

We do seem to have a lot of overlapping users, as well as a lot of users we don't share. What I want to do is make things as seamless between our two addons as possible. We share two overlapping options. The first being the close tab button option and the second being the min/max tab width setting. My goal is to try and eliminate conflicts between our addons at this point of overlap. By fixing my tabClipWidth error I can eliminate one point of conflict.

--EDIT--

A patched version of CCO v4.0.8 has been uploaded to AMO that uses tabMaxWidth instead of tabClipWidth. I couldn't change the version number without losing my place in the approval queue so I left the version number alone. v4.0.9 will come along in a month or two which will replace any incorrect builds of v4.0.8.

Those users who experience a max tab width conflict between CCO and TMP on an older version of CCO should use CCO's max tab width option until they get an updated version of CCO with the fix. Once they have the fix they can use either CCO or TMP as they get settings from the same place.
