Hm.  In 2.4 I leave invoices identified by number.  When I need the invoice for customer X I rapid-fire my best guess at the best arrow key til I land on the right one.

I guess I could start using something more descriptive in the Invoice ID and then be able to select it directly from the rightclick on the tab bar.  This might be ok.

Thanks Geert
