And lastly tabs, are not being "forced" on our users, they are being
enabled by default. And the default menu orderings being changed to
reflect that in some cases. [Users worldwide and across many browsers
have a strong liking for tabs]. But any piece of our code that does
not respect the tab prefs, is a bug and if we are made aware of it, we
plan to fix it as soon as possible. [This means that if a tab is
*forced* on you, not if we *allow* tabs to be chosen/used, fwiw]
As of 2.2, tabs were forced when one attempted to
access either the Data Manager or the Add-ons
manager via the "Tools" menu interface. If that
behaviour is reverted in a more recent release,
then I am both reassured and delighted.
Hrm, my memory on our behavior here is apparantly wrong, (I just tested
in my open 2.2, and I could not find a setting to cause the data manager
to open in a new window [or reuse a non-empty current tab] via the
preferences window)
Can you please either CC me to an existing bug on this, or file a new
one? I will plan to look into it, and drive it forward as soon as I can.
[I am busy so I have no usable ETA on this, but happy to help drive it
if someone else wants to code it]
I personally use tabs, and prefer them so I apologize for not catching
this before my latest reply to you, (I'll also plan to test in our trunk
builds before investing time in writing code, but I try and use our
latest beta's as my regular, except for mail/news where I use our latest
stable)
