Description Matt Wilson 2002-05-17 19:51:30 UTC 
The 'move focus only, don't bring tab to front' behavior differs from other
major toolkits.  Raising the tab to the front when you arrow around
notebook tabs would be more consistent.
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2002-07-30 22:22:29 UTC 
Bug 87379 suggests that the scroll arrows should do this as
well.

Yep, Windows and Java at least both do it this way these days.  I can
only assume that they didn't when we wrote the keynav spec, otherwise
we wouldn't have bothered suggesting the current behaviour...

(Just adding comments in response to Owen's recent "what should we 
fix for 2.2" email)

I vote for fixing it as suggested; it saves users a keypress and 
makes us consistent with Windows and Java.  (Couldn't find any 
tabbed notebooks on this MacOSX box to see what it does!)

        * gtk/gtknotebook.c (gtk_notebook_switch_focus_tab):
        Always switch to the page with the focused tab
        label. (#82108, Matt Wilson.)

There is a lot of code simplification I didn't do here;
I didn't actual consolidate the focused page and the current
page in the code; just made the code keep them together.
I've field bug 98634 to cover that code cleanup.
Comment 6 Owen Taylor 2002-10-25 22:01:22 UTC 
Bug 96834 that is.
