134539 - Changing to 'unlogical' windowtabs when closing a tab

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 105722

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Bastien Chevreux]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020319
BuildID:    2002031903

When working with multiple tabs (and opening some new tabbed windows in the
background via ctrl-shift-click), the choice for activating (showing) the next
tab is a bit unlogical. It's hard to describe, but I think that Mozilla should
have the strategy of 'Last-Opened-First-To-Activate', like Opera had in their
version 5 (I actually miss it in V6, don't know if it's a bug or a feature).
Please see Steps to Reproduce and Expected Results for a clear description of
what I mean.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new mozilla window
2. Have the first tab point to e.g. mozilla.org (Call it TAB1)
3. Open a new tab, have it point to, e.g. slashdot (Call it TAB2)
(http://www.slashdot.org/)
4. CTRL-Shift-Click on the 'Read More' links of the (e.g.) first two stories
(Call them TAB3 and TAB4)
5. Close the tab window of the slashdot main page (TAB2)

Actual Results:  The next tab to be activated will be the one containing
mozilla.org (TAB1)

Expected Results:  I would have expected to have first the window of the 2nd
CTRL-Shift-Click opened tab to be activated (TAB4), on closing this the one of
the 1st click (TAB3) and then only being thrown back to the tab containing
mozilla.org (TAB1)

Workaround would be to manually change to the last tab in the list(the rightmost
one) as Mozilla simply activates the tab to the left of the actual tab when
closing a tabwindow.

This is a duplicate of either bug 115234(which is a dup of 105722) or bug
105722 which both have way too many comments.  Even if the behavior described
isn't exactly identical to either, it would still be a duplicate of bug 105722
which is Verified Wontfix. 

Leaving unconfirmed because I lack the power to change it.
