When browsing with about half-a-dozen or so tabs open, I find the need to
quickly switch between two or three tabs. In all MDI Windows apps (such a Visual
C++), pressing ctrl-tab switches to previous document you were viewing. In
mozilla pressing ctrl-tab switches to next tab in order.
This bug is highly annoying for keyboard users when two frequently used tabs
have a lot of other tabs in between. Please implement z-order tab switching for
ctrl-tab.
For in-order traversal of tabs, user should use ctrl-pgup, ctrl-pgdown.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 5 web pages such that there are 5 tabs with titles A, B, C, D, E, in order.
2. Click on tab C, then on tab A.
3. Press Ctrl-TAB to switch from Tab A to Tab C. Instead Mozilla switches to Tab B.
Actual Results:
Tab B is displayed
Expected Results:
Tab C should be displayed
Such window switching order may be valild for _MDI_ - but Mozilla is not an MDI
application. Tabs are completely different.
