What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start iterm in full screen mode, press cmd longer than 1 sec, tabs appear as expected
2. Open a new tab in full screen mode (with cmd+t)
3. Switch to normal size (with cmd+enter)
4. Switch back to full screen (with cmd+enter)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Now when press cmd for longer than 1 sec, tabs will not appear

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

iterm2, alpha14, mac os x 10.6.5

Please provide any additional information below.

This doesn't happen for me. Are you sure you're not pressing any keys besides cmd? Also, if you have access to another machine, it would be great to know if this is something specific to your computer.

Yes, I am sure that I only pressed cmd key. I will test it on another machine later. The problem does not appear if I have only one tab open.

Ok, when I disable "Highlight tab labels on activity" in advanced settings, then the problem disappears. Is it possible to fix this?

That is really weird. I tried disabling that and following the steps but it still doesn't happen for me. Let me add some debugging code in there and give you a build that will log info about what's going on. I'm in the middle of a big change right now so it may take me a few days, though.

ganchman: disabling it will resolve the issue. Can you enable it and try again?

Ah, I think I see what might be causing it. Can you check the console (open /Applications/Utilities/Console) and see if iTerm2 logged a message like this:
A regular control size progress indicator <PSMProgressIndicator: 0x121608d30> with the frame size for small control size detected. Please use -setControlSize: to explicitly specify NSSmallControlSize

Thanks!

Yep, you are right. There is a such message in console output.

BTW, I think this feature of showing tabs in full screen mode with cmd key is very useful! Thanks.

Should've said: try this download to verify it: http://code.google.com/p/iterm2/downloads/detail?name=iTerm2-svn406.zip
