Package: gnome-terminal Version: 2.22.0-1 Severity: minor I sometimes use mouse to switch between windows, and if I click on a tab in gnome-terminal the tab gets keyboard focus, i.e. everything I type goes to the tab and the terminal itself does not get anything -- this gives an impression that the terminal is frozen. One has to look very closely to find out that the terminal cursor is different, i.e. the keyboard focus is not on the terminal, and then discover that it is on the tab. This is confusing to say the least (tab is not an input field, and one does not expect to be able to type anything there), moreover the keystrokes get lost on the tab and it takes time to grab the mouse again, wigle it to terminal and then move hand back to keyboard and retype the lost keystrokes.
In short, my point is that there is nothing to type onto the tab/tabbar therefore user should not be encouraged to type anything there and tabs should not get/have the keyboard focus in the first place. Situation may be different for other applications where user has an oportunity to switch between tabs, but terminal is a keyboard intensive application and GUI consistent keyboard shortcuts (like TAB key) do not transfer the focus back to tabbar, so the left/right arrow functionality on gnome-terminal tabbar is lost anyway.
