Title: Tiny problem with tabs
Post by: bigsofty on 2011-Oct-13
When you load in quite a few source files, you get quite a few tabs. If these tabs, when lined up at the top of the source edit frame, go out of the right of the frame, then two little buttons appear for scrolling the tabs left and right but if you click on any tab and there is still enough tabs to occupy the same screen position as these two little buttons, then the tabs overwrite the buttons. The buttons can be brought back by hovering over them so its not a big deal if you know what's happened to them. It could confuse, if you don't though.

Haha I kept re-loading one of my source files until I hovered and found the little buttons :)

Would be nice to be able to use the the mousewheel to scroll through the tabs.

Just noticed that (Shift +) Ctrl + Tab stops working after a while for me. O_O

Me too, happens so often that I stopped using those keys, but then I loose productivity!
Plus the 'Save All' keys (<Ctrl> + <Shift> + <S>) stops working, but save works (<Ctrl> + <S>) which is weird.
Maybe the problem is only with key commands that affect multiple tabs?   :blink:

At some point, whatever GLBasic IDE uses to accept keyboard input looses focus, or some other object hijacks that kb input, or something. 

I've had similar issues with my VB6 apps, and a simple solution was to add a timer (say every 5 seconds or more) that just restores keyboard focus to my main form.  Kludgey but it worked!
