Description _ jrichard 2004-01-21 03:53:12 UTC

from nbui:

Mildly annoying: dragging tabs won't scroll the
tabs.  When tab scrolling is in force, try
dragging the first tab to the last tab space.  You
basically have to drag one screen of tabs at a
time, then scroll the tabs, then drag again.  On
the other hand, this isn't a problem for me, since
I rarely reorganize tabs.

dragging is not - A11Y bug

Reassigning to openide

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2004-01-22 03:32:57 UTC

Window system again.

Comment 3 Peter Zavadsky 2004-01-22 09:37:59 UTC

Passing to Jano to consider it. It seems reasonable.

Tim, if approved then there will be a need for tabcontrol API to
scroll those tabs.
