Comment (by sudha@…):

 I have seen this bug since ages ago, most likely from the first 7a
 version. Certainly it is present on all 7 alphas for windows.

 Steps to reproduce from fresh install are very easy -- I have reproduced
 that on three different systems, Win8.1, Win10 1703 and 1607 builds.

 What's worse, after quite a while of such usage the Tor profile can appear
 very corrupted -- to the point that tor browser starts crashing on start,
 or more specifically -- start browser and then click on a tab get a crash.
