Description of problem: Vertical scrollbar disappears if search function is used, and several tabs are present. Please see attached screenshot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-3.0-0.beta2.11.nightly20080115.fc9 How reproducible: 100%, but you need to know how Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Firefox 3 in an unmaximized window 2. Open enough tabs so they get smaller than their natural size, but not enough for them to overflow and obtain the little extension button 3. Find a page with enough text for scrollbar to appear (e.g. a Bugzilla page) 4. Hit ^F, get search bar. 5. Search for any string that is present in the text, like "firefox" 6. Once you searched twice, the rendered pane will get wider, so the scrollbar disappears and cannot be clicked. The scroller mouse still works, so it's there, only invisible. Actual results: Scrollbar disappears, text wider than the screen. Expected results: Text width remaining as it was before the search. Additional info: To recover, you need to close search bar and the tabs.

Hmm, two points: a) cannot reproduce here with firefox-3.0-0.beta2.11.nightly20080115.fc9.x86_64 b) no matter, what I do I have always "the little extension button" present even when tabs don't covert whole width of the window. Do you have some extensions present which could be the issue?
Regarding (b) bo you mean the vertical button (which drops down a list) or the horizontal one (which shifts tabs left and right)? The list button is always present, but the shift button is not. Of extensions, I have Flashblock. I figured more of what happens. When the search wraps, a message appears in the search bar that says "Reached top of page, continued from ..." (latter part unreadable). That message is what overflows the window. I guess your window is just not narrow enough for it to happen.
I also can't reproduce. Is this a problem still with the latest snapshots from rawhide/koji? If so, we should move it upstream since this is upstream's code and it's still a pre-release.
Fixed in 3.0-0.beta2.12.nightly20080121.fc9.
The bug reoccured in firefox-3.0-0.63.cvs20080516.fc10.x86_64. Thought this was fixed upstream?

I filed an upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435231
Mozilla people made me to test their build, and surprise: it works. This bug is specific to Fedora. This is confusing a bit. Apparently a bug just like this existed in upstream Firefox. _Probably_ that was what I reported originally in this bug report. Then they fixed it, so I closed this. But now we made a bug with exactly the same symptom.
Created attachment 306559 [details] OK screenshot of upstream BTW... Upstream is UGLY in capital letters. I'd rather use our build, if it worked.
Taking this bug...
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This seems fixed in 3.1 Beta 3 (available in F11 Beta). Closing.
