Description Jacob Welsh 2009-07-30 20:38:44 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux

When I close a tab either by exiting the shell, or ctrl+shift+w, it advances to what had been the next tab, as expected. But if the last tab was closed, it wraps to the first tab, which I find a bit surprising.

But, if I use the "close tab" button instead, I get the "expected" behavior: move to the next tab, unless the last tab is closed, in which case stay on the now last tab.

This was not affected by the fix to #183483 - that just reversed the directions (before, shell exit would go to the previous tab and wrap to the end from the first; the close button would go to the previous tab unless the first was closed). So I agree with the fix for that bug, and this is a separate issue.

I'll submit a patch if I can figure it out.

The reporter's behavior is how trunk works now.

Will the WIP switch to KTabWidget solve this automatically?

This  was   recently fixed.
