Description Thomas Zander 2004-02-22 11:07:38 UTC 
Version:           3.2.0 (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Debian)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21

If you have multiple tabs on your konqy you can use tab to move focus to the tabs since they are normal widgets. Just like each and every application in KDE.

Pressing [left] or [right] then switches tab, again just like every application in KDE.

Pressing [left] or [right] again shows a bug; the keyboard focus moved after activating a tab using the left-right buttons. This is not correct as this prevents a user going two or more tabs in any direction.

Please make sure focus is kept in the component it was in before switching tabs.
So if focus was in the content area; set focus there, if it was on the tabs; keep it there, if it was in the location bar, keep it there.
