Tab sequence

[surrender]

Like always i come up with trivial things:

Not exactly a wish but a doubt on what should happen when i move tabs.

Lets say i have 5 tabs in this sequence 1 2 3 4 5 and i move tab 3 to the right three times.

one time: 1 2 4 3 5

two times: 1 2 4 5 3

three times: 3 2 4 5 1

is it normal that the sequence (1 2 4 5) is somehow messed-up?? (tab 1 jumped to last), i expected the below sequence after moving tab 3 three times.

3 1 2 4 5

I ask this because, sometimes I have relevant tabs next to each other and moving tabs breaks that sequence.

I just noticed this behavior yesterday while playing around with our cool new Shift+MouseWheel functionality. It looks like, as you've also noticed, that when you move a tab it trades places with next the one in it's path. Now, that works great, but there should be a little extra logic in there for when a tab is at either the beginning or the end. It should either 1) Not allow a tab to move past the endpoints, or 2) Shove all the tabs either left or right depending on whether the tab is coming from the front or the end.

Option 2 would be my preference.

yeah, I too vote for option 2.

3 1 2 4 5

I did it although the first resulting sequence now is not shifting one tab's position but all tabs' positions. I agree it's much better now, but it's an interesting thing to understand why...

Thanks for the quick turnaround on this. It's much better now.

Oh WOW!! That was quick. So it wasnt that trivial then.

Trivial and good!
