Gnucash tabs

[fastsnip-bcard at yahoo.com]

I've been using Gnucash for many years now and have also contributed to the 
source code.

The tab behavior of the latest version of gnucash 2.2.9 running under Kubuntu is 
really counterintuitive and very visually  irritating.

I love the tabs, but I would rather you follow the Firefox tab behavior which is 
visually pleasing and intuitive.

Under gnucash, when I have too many tabs open to display all of the tabs, little 
arrows appear on the left and right. This is the same as for  Firefox. Where 
gnucash departs is that when I want to view a tab that is off screen and click 
on the little arrow to scroll the tabs in the proper direction, gnucash scrolls 
the screens for the tabs. Firefox simply scrolls the tabs themselves and 
continues to display the same screen. Then if I want to change the tab being 
viewed, I click on the desired tab.

Scrolling the screens is really irritating and is a much slower method of 
changing the tabs displayed.. The Firefox fixed display is much, much better.

Have there been any other complaints about the scrolling tabs and changing 
display. I know I can click on a tab that visible to display that tab, but when 
there are too many tabs to display and I have to scroll left or right, simply 
scrolling the tabs left or right and leaving the screen fixed is less visually 
irritating. It's a nice software trick, but not all nice software tricks are 
good.

Will the scrolling of the tabs be changed to mimick Firefox or is gnucash going 
to follow the current practice?

Thanks, Terry
