AFAIK its a feature. It was changed from the default swing tab behavior because some 
users (and IDEA developers I assume) agreed that it was irritating. I tended to agree 
at that time, but now that I see the results, I must say that I agree with you. The 
swing designers probably went through the same thought/experience process before 
deciding as they did.

I have seen apps that only allow one row of tabs, and provide some sort of horizontal 
scroll function to allow for more tabs than fit on the page. Maybe there is no ideal 
solution.

P.S.: what I do like is the new (?) CVS diff viewer. Nice.
