233107 - Closing tab should return to spawning tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 105722

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Tony Burzio]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Suggestion:

When you open a page in a tab from the tab to the left, and other tabs are
open, the tab appears to the far right as you would expect.   When you close
this tab, the current tab is set to the next tab to the left, instead of the
invoking tab.  This is very annoying when searching  and you want to open
several tabs using the search results.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Enter a YAHOO search (tab 1) and view results
2.  "Open a link in a new tab" (tab 2)
3.  return to YAHOO tab (far left)
4:  open another link in a new tab (tab 3)
5: close this tab, and second tab is selected. (tab 2)
6.  reasonable action would be that the YAHOO (tab 1) be selected
Actual Results:  
No problem, just annoyance

Expected Results:  
The software should have returned to the calling tab when a tab is closed.
