      -Operating System: Windows 8.1 ---Issue Type: User Interface ----Issue cause: Tab Selection -----Reason for discussion: Get the developers to implement this small change to tab selection ------Issue/Annoyance: You can't select the tab if you place your mouse all the way at the top of the screen.

      Explanation: When the browser is "maximized", you can't select a tab if your mouse pointer is at the very edge of the screen. You are required to move your mouse slightly below to highlight the tab and then click it. I am raising this simple complaint because it really slows individuals down when they are working at a fast pace since its simple nature for the user to move the mouse fast and only be stopped by the screen edge. When they are at the edge however, they cannot click on the tab and it gets slightly annoying after a while.

      Fix: To allow the user to select the tab even at the edge of the window.

          Hi 424ac, you can try this: O-Menu->Settings(Alt+P)->Browser->User interface, and tick the checkbox on the left of "Disable tab bar's top spacing when browser window is maximized".
