Clicking top of screen above tab in maximized window does not switch tabs

Project Member Reported by jamescook@chromium.org, Feb 5 2018

Issue description

Google Chrome	66.0.3336.3 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)
Revision	0
Platform	10373.0.0 (Official Build) canary-channel caroline
Firmware Version	Google_Caroline.7820.356.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Login, open a window, maximize it, open some tabs
(2) Click on the top pixel of the screen, above a tab

We should switch to the tab, but we don't. Fitts's Law violation. The clickable area should extend to the top of the screen. Maybe a hidpi issue? Tabstrip refactoring?

Ahmed or Peter, do you know if the tab strip layout has changed recently?

Just FYI, this is also the case on Linux HiDPI, and it's been driving me nuts ;)
[Chiming in because the OS is marked 'Chrome']

Looks like it's a hidpi issue (I don't see the problem when I switch to 100% zoom).

This is happening to me on Windows 10.
Is this happening with the new UI as well?
People experiencing this, can you check Dev or Canary?  I know of at least one high DPI bug that would cause this behavior that got fixed a couple weeks ago.

(I was comment #3, but needed to get my @chromium.org account reset.)

Yay, this is mostly fixed in Canary. I found one possibly related bug (on win 10):

1) Set display to 100% zoom.
2) Open Chrome window and an extra tab.
3) Maximize Chrome window.
4) Minimize Chrome window.
5) Set display to 200% zoom.
6) Click Chrome in the taskbar to restore it.

At this point, I think the window is now 1px smaller than the desktop size, but Chrome still shows the top right button as being a maximized window (double squares).  Moving the mouse to the top of a tab shows the vertical resize cursor. Clicking the maximized icon does nothing AFAICT.  If I minimize and restore or move the window, the top right button switches to the maximize button (single square). Once I maximize again, everything is working again.

So I think everything is worked properly except that if the window was in a maximized state and minimized when the zoom is changed, it doesn't update the top right button. If I leave the Chrome window non-minimized when the zoom changes (i.e., omit step 4 above), everything works as expected.

Canary version: 33e646f935a73e694a752ee5cd5ad761efc71809-refs/branch-heads/3564@{#1}
@6: That seems like a legit bug, can you file separately since it sounds like a bugmorph from the original thing here?
Re #4, yes this is happening in the new UI.
Re #5, yes this is fixed (for me anyway) in dev (71.0.3559.6)
