Version: 0.4.90 (using Devel) OS: Linux you should be able to scroll through tabs and tabs shouldnt align to the right side of the screen if you click on them (like firefox) or like opera where every tab takes less space if a few are open (i hope you all get what im trying to say) this would imo improve surfing with many open tabs a lot Reproducible: Didn't try
there's not much rekonq can do about this, since it uses a Qt/KDE class for the tabbar. I'll let Andrea decide what to do… (If rekonq uses ktabbar we can move this report to kdelibs, if it uses the Qt tab bar class, we have to move it UPSTREAM)
Jean, can you please confirm the first issue you talk about is the following one? “When there are several tabs open (enought for the < > navigation buttons to appear) and the content of the current tab gets updated or is being loaded (you can reproduce the issue by just pressing F5), the tab gets aligned to the right.” About the second one, currently tabs in Rekonq do take less space as you create them, until a limit is reached (not like Chrome, where there is no limit). I think this is the expected behavior and that there is nothing to change there.
There is also issue with close tab when there is many tabs. For example: 1. Open few dozens of tabs (or just two times more than may be visible on tabs bar with screen resolution that you use). 2. Choice some latest tab (some tab from rightmost position on tabs bar). Now we see few latest tabs on tabs bar. 3. If you want to close current tab and read another latest tab you click close on current tab and... 4. current tab position will be reset! tabs bar display tabs from leftmost position on tabs bar - so user have no choice but again scroll to latest tabs. That painful. If upstream bugreport required - please register it. I'm not developers so I doesn't know how to properly describe issue for Qt developers.

Well, this is just default QTabBar behavior, I don't know how to change it. And I don't think Qt devs are interested in changing it as QWidget classes are now in maintenaince mode. We'll take care of this problem when implementing a QML tabbar.
Development on Rekonq ceased four years ago, and it has been unmaintained since then. KDE recommends using Falkon instead.
