Preconditions

  • NA

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a Tab group.
  2. Select any Tab from the Tab group.
  3. Collapse the Tab group.

Expected result

  • The Active tab should still be displayed.
    An indicator showing that the Active Tab is inside that Tab group is also needed for when we have a lot of collapsed tab groups.

Actual result

  • The Moment we collapse a tab group it will jump to either a new tab or a different available tab.
    Some users would collapse the tab group instead of scrolling in order to see more tabs, but they wouldnt want to switch the active tab from the page they were on. Jumping to a different active tab without users input might not be ideal when they simply collapse the Tab group.
