Second issue:

When the request log is shown, it appears under both the browser window and the Tree Style Tab sidebar (as displayed at right). When the tab width is truncated as per the first issue, the tabs are shown above the request log! Trying to click the still visible request log close button, does not close the request log, but instead changes tabs!

Further, when the tabs are truncated, the width is too small to even show a favicon! Users would have to intentionally hover over each tab to identify by tooltip. As such, the tab change seems very random, but is probably whatever tab is horizontally aligned with the click...

The first bug alone is a bearable graphical glitch, as it can be reset, eg by toggling the display of the request log; however, this latter bug is a significant usability issue!

For the first issue, I've seen this behavior as well and I consider it to be a bug in Tree Style Tabs or Firefox 4. That is, RP is not doing anything unusual from what I can tell. Tree Style Tabs has had their work cut out for them in keeping up with Firefox 4 changes. It should be reported to the Tree Style Tabs developer.

For the second issue, I haven't seen this before and I can't repeat it.

For the record, the width glitch can be "fixed" by maximizing/unmaximizing (not minimizing) Firefox. At least, this works on Ubuntu 10.10.

DOM Inspector indicates that request policy is the only toolbar icon with a submenu that uses the onclick attribute to toggle an overlay (at least of the extensions I have installed). There appear to be a few variations on how to achieve this without an additional overlay, eg:

Perhaps the onclick event, overlay generation, and/or overlay display is resulting in this effect...

Reviewing the code, it looks like request policy is trying to create one menupopup and continually reparent it, depending on how it was opened last -- statusbar, context menu, toolbar icon...

noscript uses menupopup.openPopup(anchor) to make it appear that the menupopup was reparented...

Adblock Plus clones the statusbar menupopup to the toolbar...

By the way, amazing responsiveness from the Tree Style Tab developer. I've opened a ticket for their RP suggestion (#188).
