Thats nicely and clearly described thank you ... except are you aware that the 
message pane can be positioned to the right where the tabs are at the top like 
the sidebar, or the message pane can be positioned to the bottom (and is 
default) and the tabs are to the left and stacked vertically.  You didn't 
mention which position it is in but it changes which arrow keys are used.

1.
Sidebar: the same as you
Message-window: if the message-window is at the right side and the tab has 
focus it works exactly the same as sidebar, if message-window is at the bottom 
and the tab has focus then tab browsing works, but with up/down arrows to 
switch to the next/previous tab which sort of makes sense since the tabs are 
stacked vertically so up/down is the direction between tabs.
2.
Sidebar: the same as you
Message-window: if the window is at the right the down arrow moves from the 
selected tab to the content, if the window is at the bottom the right arrow 
moves from the selected tab to the content, and again that makes sense since 
the tabs are to the left of the content it is right from the tab to the content.

This is on a different machine (LMDE6) to my previous experiments, but the 
results are the same again.  Except for confusion about left/right vs up/down 
arrows the only reason I can think of why it works/does not work is that CSS 
might be able to affect it, but I don't know if it can or how.
