[GNC] Tabs Behaviors in GNC4.1

[D.]

On putting the Chart of Accounts at the end: presumably that would work, but it really messes with the Order of Things in my head.  ;)

As for the size changes, well, I have been using gnucash a while...

2.6.19 does indeed put the new tab at the end. Like you, I have a small
set of tabs that I always keep open, and open additional accounts only
for some brief use.

Can you work around the problem by making the Chart of Accounts last in
your normal group?

I just tried it in 2.6.19, and when I opened a account with along name
the column of tabs expanded to fit the long name. (Like you, I have the
account tabs at the left, not at the top.)

That's not to say that it necessarily _should_ be that way, but it
doesn't seem to be a recent change.
