Who's working on this?

  • Feature Manager: Alex Limi
  • Lead Developer: Frank Yan
  • QA: Vlad Ghetiu (irc: vladg)
  • UX: Alex Limi

Release Requirements

  • Ability to close many tabs without moving the mouse pointer, regardless of how wide the tabs would end up being.
  • Tab overflow should work.

Next Steps

  • Consider resize on leaving tab bar, not the entire toolbar.

Open Issues

  • Using the entire toolbar as the area for determining when to resize makes the feature seem a bit unpredictable and/or broken.
