With older versions of Konversation, using Alt-<N> to select one of the first 10 tabs worked while leaving the tablist scroll wherever it previously was, even if the new tab was not visible in the list. With 1.6, however, the tab list is scrolled if necessary to make the tab item visible when switching to it. I much prefer the old behaviour.
