Intermittent sticky behavior in Firefox tabs...

[Rahul Sharma]

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

BROWSER: Firefox 3.6.8

STEPS:
1. Launch Firefox
2. Open multiple Tabs
3. Click on a tab header
4. Now try clicking on some other tab

OBSERVED: Sometimes, the tab in focus (the one clicked in Step-3 above), sticks to the mouse pointer and when the other one (Step-4) is clicked the first one moves to a separate browsers session.

EXPECTED: Tab switching should work consistently & properly

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Could there be an issue with your mouse where the left click button is sticking and you end up dragging the first tab?
