selected tab goes left auto

Hi

to speed up the visual find of the selected tab in a mutiple tab pane how about always having the selected tab in first position (all to the left)

you select a pane, it goes in first position, select another one the first one goes back to its original position or eventually in position 2

what do you think?

While it might work for some, I think it would drive me crazy -- I generally work with a pretty structured tab setup, and having it shift around on me would totally kill any productivity...

I don't have any trouble finding the selected tab, esp since Don increased the height (I didn't think one pixel would make that much difference, but it did!)

Yup...I'm with avsfan on this...I'm not quite that organized, and rarely have more than 4 tabs open in XY (but a few more than that in Opera), but I depend on them always being in certain locations...

Fully agree with this! That tiny one pixel made a significant improvement so if I were to suggest any change, it would be to add one more pixel to the selected tab.
