Bug Description
I am having intermittent problems closing fullscreen firefox tabs. The window does not refresh after closing the tab. The result is that the tab appears it's still open, and the window containing the tab does not accept input. Putting the window into windowed mode (from fullscreen) causes the screen to refresh itself.
To reproduce:
1) Open a fullscreen firefox window
2) Open several tabs in the window. Open websites in those tabs (for example multiple launchpad bugs)
3) Close a tab by clicking the 'x' in the tab
Expected results:
The tab closes
Actual results:
The tab does not appear to close. The browser window becomes unresponsive and does not appear to accept any input
The workaround is to un-maximize the window such as by clicking the 'maximize' window decoration or by dragging the window title bar out of the top panel. After doing this the window redraws, the closed tab is gone, and the window accepts input again.
This problem is intermittent; I see it on about 5% of the tabs I close.
