Jeff, This is very strange. I've looked at this a bit more and it is more complicated than just not having the close button on every tab. Sorry if my comments got anybody all optimistic, but you probably knew already. Still, the preferences dialog is more accessible when I uncheck the "Close Button on All Tabs" but I'm not sure what works best. What is really strange is that I can click on a different tab and use the mouse to find items, but the mouse reads different information than I get when I TAB through the dialog. It seems as though what I get by tabbing through is out of sync with what the mouse sees until I actually click on a check box with the mouse. For example, I can start in "General" and click the edit tab. I press TAB and still hear the "General" check boxes but I can read the "edit" check boxes with the mouse pointer. This seems to me to be a problem that is potentially larger than just accessibility.
This looks like a very neat text editor considering that it is free, but this makes me wonder about the rest of it.
