On today's nightly I am able to get a tab to show the highlight color when I am not touching the phone.

STR
1. Open two tabs
2. using two fingers click on both the tabs till the highlight color appears
3. release 
4. if you do not see the behavior in the screenshot retry 1-3

Actually, I'm able to select / highlight-in-orange multiple tabs ... (see attached) ...

Adding a couple lines in TabsTray.java at the start of the onTouch() methods |case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN| prevents that:

   // Cleanup any previous checked
   cancelCheckForTap();
   if (mSwipeView != null)
       mSwipeView.setPressed(false);

This still allows for a single lingering high-lit tab to occur though.

I'm wondering why, exactly, do we even bother to highlight? Are we just trying to show what item the user is holding as he scrolls the list or swipes a tab?

If we dropped the |CheckForTap| class would anyone notice?
