Hello gwinkless. I also find the file tab behavior given by Microsoft very irritating. If I click on a tab in row 1 and the whole row is pushed all the way down, then that is irritating ;-)
As a workaround I use : "Settings" / "Program Settings" / "Program (part 1)" => "File Tabs Style:" "Flat buttons" Advantage: The rows are NOT moved when you click on a tab! Disadvantages: The buttons are ugly and need more space horizontally. Maybe Jan can replace the buttons with labels, if we ask nicely? :) Labels look modern and pretty and are not so high.
