Tab focus

Post by joeking »

2 panes with multitabs
From the pane which is in focus I use the mouse to click the tab in the pane that is not in focus. Clicking the tab doesn't bring the unfocused pane into focus.
Only if I click the scroll bar or the empty space of the pane or the previously unfocused tab (the tab that is not the one 'infront' of the unfocused  tab).

Pane 1 - tab1,0 (focused and in focused pane),tab1,1
Pane 2 - tab2,0(previously focused and in unfocused pane),tab2,1

clicking tab2,0 doesn't bring that pane 2 into focus

Version 1.1.0.1 [Unicode]

I understand it's currently a "feature". ;)
but current behaviour remains inconsistent with the rational expectation to click ANY tab & have the pane focus switch to that tab.  :|

PS: I reported this a while back, so I expect it's somewhere on the 'niggle' list for incidentals repair sometime in the future.
