Description Michael Monreal 2010-10-31 17:20:47 UTC 
Activate the alt-tab switcher and make sure a window will close shortly after that. One way to reproduce is to set Firefox' download manager window to close if all downloads are finished. Move to firefox in alt-tab and see what happens. The window graphic goes away, but the switcher does not resize.

Also, even if selecting another app now, Firefox will keep its down arrow. However, it will no longer expand (assuming there was no other firefox window open, only main and download manager). However, a small gray box appears on the top left corner, drawing over parts of "Activities".

bug 620106 has a needs-work patch that fixes this (while also adding another feature that might not be wanted)
Comment 2 Allan Day 2013-08-16 16:39:26 UTC 
I can't find that option in Firefox, and I can't figure out another way to trigger the bug. Please let us know if it is still an issue.
