Sequence of events:
0:In editor
1:click on source tab - source tab opens
2:click on source tab - source tab closes
3:click on source tab - source tab opens
4:click on project tab - source tab closes, project tab opens
5:click on project tab - project tab closes, source tab opens <-- didn't
expect that, just expected project tab to close
6:click on various tabs, getting queasy from the animations but not getting
back to editor
7:give up and press escape

Until I sat down to write this message and went through the steps carefully
thinking about them I never could figure out what the rule was for when a
tab would close when you clicked on it when it was open and when it would
jump to a different tab. The final rule has some logic behind it but
requires the user to keep too much context in their head to predict what
will happen when they click on an open tab.

I think it would be much simpler for the user if clicking on an open tab
just closed it and returned you to where you were before you opened any
tabs.
