window size is set by the user
Authored by: jiclark on Sep 25, '03 11:34:51PM

Sorry, I have to agree with the others. It's "resizing" because the tab bar is going away, but the area filled with actual content is staying the same. Try this: go to Finder and open a window. Then hit cmd-B to toggle the toolbar on and off. Same thing happens here; the window gets "smaller" because you're hiding one of its elements. The visible "productive" area of the window stays the same, but overall it gets smaller when the toolbar goes away.

This is the same thing that Safari is doing!

Regardless of whether it's a bug or not (let's stop the debate now...It's to much like the chicken and the egg debate,) the horizontal length of the window has been set by me, the user, so why does Safari insist on shrinking it? Bug or not, it's annoying.

When the tab bar is closed, that's all that should happen. The physical window length should not change.

Maybe the discussion is being confused by not understanding the definition of 'window'. What I'm referring to is the entire browser window, which include the tool bar and bookmarks bar, not just the space for HTML content.

Like a previous poster said, leaving the preference to always show the tab, eats away at the content space, put yet it preserves the browser window length.
