Honestly I wonder if we should fix this, especially since if you begin to drag tabs in such a way that we start to expose the underlying ones, their favicons would otherwise have to "pop" into view.

Maybe it's worth fixing anyway, but it's not clearly-and-obviously-broken today, to me.

Agreed that if we were to go the route of hiding the favicons for this one specific case it would seem very strange to have them 'pop' into view.

Two other possible fixes proposed by hwi@ in a separate thread:

* Shift the x-position of favicons for all tabs (not just in stacked tab mode) to the right by ~1-2px

* Decrease the spacing between two consecutive stacked tabs

I'd rather not shift the favicons.  That 1-2 px seems small, but for people with 60 tabs open, it adds up to hiding the favicons many tabs sooner.

Decreasing the spacing might be OK.  The popping into view thing might actually be better.  Not sure.

This issue has been Available for over a year. If it's no longer important or seems unlikely to be fixed, please consider closing it out. If it is important, please re-triage the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience if the bug really should have been left as Available.
