Tab usage suggestion solicted...

[John Morris]

  I also have fairly long account names, so I would not want to have to use the tabs on the side to be able to scroll between tabs. Fortunately, scrolling vertically also works to move between tabs when the tabs are set at the top of the window.

  The other feature I like about scrolling through the tabs is that GnuCash does not need to be frontmost for it to work. I can be in my bank's website clicking from account to account and still switch from one tab to another in GnuCash without bringing it forward. I just have to get my mouse pointer into the tab area of the GnuCash window.

Best,
John
