Description Luke Hutchison 2006-10-05 22:13:16 UTC 
Behavior when dragging sheet tabs around is weird.  This is easier to trigger on 1.6.x, but I have seen it on 1.7.x (CVS) also.

Create 5 sheets: Sheet1, Sheet2, ..., Sheet5.  I will just write the numbers 1 to 5 below to show what happens.

Start with them in order 1 2 3 4 5.

Drag 2 between 4 and 5.  You get: 1 4 3 2 5.  (the 4 and 2 switch places)

Drag 2 between 4 and 3.  It won't move.  Drag it again.  It will move the second time.  You get: 1 4 2 3 5.

Drag 2 between 3 and 5.  It will move correctly: 1 4 3 2 5.

Drag 2 between 1 and 4.  Again you get 1 2 3 4 5.

Also there is a lot of flickering and a subjective "lack of control" when dragging tabs, perhaps the drag code can be made more efficient and more forgiving.

I can't reproduce. Things work for me with both 1.6.3 and HEAD.
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2006-10-06 15:14:51 UTC 
This was fixed sometime after 1.7.0

I tried it in latest CVS before filing the bug.  I got it to do this once, but then couldn't duplicate it again.  That's why I said it's easier to duplicate in 1.6.x.  However I have seen it in 1.7.1cvs.

Hmm...  If you can get more info, such as a stack trace or a recipe,
please reopen.
