Hello, today at SUMO-livechat I got this bug report from a user, which I then asked whimboo and now I'm filling the bug.
User's description:
"I almost always use multitabs, and you could just click on the tabs to get the dotted box around the tab title, then use the arrow keys to move left or right to different tabs. You can no longer click on the tab to select it, but you can use the Tab key to get a selection still, however."
Smells like regression. I can reproduce.
This happens on all platforms and regressed between 3.1 beta 3 and 3.5 beta 4. We need a closer range to narrow down the problem. Anyone interested?

This is intentional.

Natch: Sorry then. A user was worried about this, so I thought it would be good to file.
Also, why is it intentional? Would it conflict with the new tabbing system that allows you to "(un)dock" tabs from a window to another??

Please don't change the resolution. WONTFIX is the correct value.
Resolution: FIXED → WONTFIX
See the dependent bug for an explanation of why this was done, I think it was a ux/ui decision.
