I have build gvim 7.0d on Fedora Core 4 as
'Big version with GTK2 GUI.'

I have noticed the following behaviour with multple tab pages (gvim);

1. You can switch with Ctrl-Pgup - Ctrl-PgDown when in normal mode;
In insert and replace mode you need to type Ctrl-O Ctrl-Pgup/PgDown
(perhaps should be documented?)

2. In Visual mode Ctrl-O is not needed, but text is unselected (can
restore visual selection with gv)

3. When within search prompt started with "/" or ex prompt started with ":",
I could not find any way to switch tab pages. If this is intentional,
It should perhaps also be documented.

4. Selecting font with Edit/Select Font changes font for all tab pages.
I think it would be very useful to have also an option to have different fonts
(or at least different font sizes) in tab pages.

5. When several files with long file names are opened, not all tabs
fit into GUI tab line;
I could find no way to swich tab pages that did not fit on tabline
with mouse - tabs are not scrollable; popup menu activated with Right
Click on tabline does not offer an option to swich tabs; and there is
no free space to click.

6. It would be useful if switch to previous tab could be activated
with mouse, perhaps Middle button-Click of Shift+left button click?
Also, next/previous tab in tabline popup menu would be convenient.

Best regards,

Wojtek
