[5:53pm] peeja: that's not right
[5:53pm] peeja: if that's true, it's a bug
[5:53pm] peeja: and I have no idea why it's happening
[5:53pm] peeja: lists in AS are always 1-based
[5:54pm] peeja: thanks for spotting that

That's the first tab in what I'd call bw2, but given how the window order jumps around like crazy with session saving on the branch, I can't be assured that that window was opened 2nd. It's also the active window, though.

It seems to resolve to browser window 1.

The order of opening shouldn't matter,  The index is into the z-ordering of the windows, or it should be.

"tab" has the same problem; "tab 0" resolves to "tab 1".

I think we can head off this bug in each class's -(NSScriptObjectSpecifier *)objectSpecifier method; dunno.

Ugh, no, we can't :(

There's some funky translation going on here:

browser window 0 --> index 0
browser window 1 --> index 0
browser window 2 --> index 1

where 'index' is logged right after |unsigned index = [browserWindows indexOfObjectIdenticalTo:self];| in BrowserWindow's -(NSScriptObjectSpecifier *)objectSpecifier

Looks like this might be a (long-standing) AS bug.
