Description wwp 2012-01-03 09:34:53 UTC 
In single-window mode, when only one document is opened, there is no tab shown.
Opening several documents will show n tabs, which is right

When switching from 1 to n documents or from n to 1 document opened, the size of the current document view is changing, and this is a little bit weird.

IMO it would be nice to always show tabs, whatever there is only 1 tab to show or more. This could be an option or the default behaviour of course.

Hi and thanks for the feedback! Adding an option for this would be way more annoying than the current behavior. GIMP should simply do the right thing by default. GIMP should work for the user, not vice versa (which would be the case if an option was needed so that a human could tell GIMP how to behave sanely). Exactly what problem is it that you see? That's a discussion for the gimp-developer mailing list though, not a bug tracker.
