SciTE - prevent active file tab move to the bottom row?

[VAN0]

Hello.

When tabbar.multiline is enabled and there are more then one row of file tabs (buffers), clicking on a tab on top row will move the entire top row to the bottom. This makes it a nightmare to track where is what. Is there a setting disable this behaviour?

 

Thank you.

Mm...nightmare....

When you have many files open and the tabs do not fit on one row, you will Indeed see this behaviour. The row with the active tab will jump to the bottom row. This is standard so maybe better asked in the SciTE forum.

If you use shorter file names, you can cram 20 into the first row  Usually I make myself start closing tabs when I hit 15 though

SciTE might have a fix in near feature for this issue 🤞:

@Jos, would you be able (willing) add it when/if it's available in official SciTE?

Thank you.

I use the standard SciTE source, so when it is part of it and I feel like doing an update, it will also be part of SciTE4AutoIt3.

The proposed patch works nicely and is pretty strait forward, it just needs a small change to get rid of a warning.....
hope Neil accepts it.

.. . but there is a bug in it....  just reported that.

Seems not so easy to implement/fixed the original request and see you now requested another change for the TABBAR.
