Open several files in the editor so that two (or more) tab lines are shown. Clicking on a file that is in the top line changes the order of the tab lines -> the clicked tab line becomes the "top" line and goes to the "bottom "of the tab lines.
This is frowned upon in many usability studies. I don't like it and it's one of the reasons I use the java/metal laf - it doesn't do this. A tab doesn't move around when it's clicked. This can be difficult for Intellij to solve as it's hardwired into the windows look and feel. Carlos PS: A year ago I found this site about bad gui interface design: Interface Hall of Shame http://www.iarchitect.com/mshame.htm And tab panel issues: http://www.iarchitect.com/tabs.htm where this issue of "moving tabs" is addressed. Very good site IMHO. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: segunda-feira, 12 de Novembro de 2001 11:09 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Eap-list] jumping tabs > > > Could you please explain in more detail what "jumping around" means? > > Best regards, > Valentin Kipiatkov > ----------------------------------------------------------- > IntelliJ Software, http://www.intellij.com/ > "Develop with pleasure" > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chritsopher Cobb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2001 12:34 AM > Subject: [Eap-list] jumping tabs > > > > One of the first things I do when setting up JBuilder is to > set the GUI > mode to > > java/metal in order to prevent the tabs from jumping around. > > > > Is there a way to keep the tabs from jumping around in > IDEA?
