Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. Hmmm... Maybe if the following had the active tab highlighted,
/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\ */''\* /''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\ */''\* is the highlighted tab you could click on the tab and see it temporarily blow up into a larger view. Thus, /''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\ */''\* /''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\/''\ would turn into: <- /''''''\/''''''\/''''''\/''''''\/''''''\ -> -------------------------------------------- After the user had finished navigating (plus a reasonable period of time), it could then switch back into the "condensed" view. I think this eliminated the "out of sight, out of mind" problem, and allows for greater control and visibility with the tabs.
