I wanted to switch Panorama groups.  But I had to completely open Panorama to do so.  I believe that a split toolbar button with a drop menu would solve the problem.  The left side would open Panorama like normal.  The menu would list all groups.

Another option would be to make the menu button that already lists tabs to at the bottom list tabs in other groups after a separator.  Those tabs would be in sub-menus named after the group.

Would you need to enter Panorama to do something other than switching groups?  Perhaps.  But this would speed up switching groups.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create several Panorama groups
2.Attempt to switch groups without entering Panorama
3.
Actual Results:  
Users must enter Panorama even if all they want to do is switch tab groups.

Expected Results:  
Users should have a way to switch tab groups without opening Panorama.

Could this be a dupe of bug 596017?

Will, can you please verify?
