Not sure if this has already been addressed - but it is something that has bothered me for a real long time...  Which tab gets switched to when you close one in Konq.

To the average user it looks almost random - sometimes it goes to the tab on the left sometimes to the right. (In most other tab enabled programs (such as mozilla) it always goes to the right).

I dug in today to see if I could figure out why - and frankly I can't.  But I was able to create a patch to fix it so that it always acts just like mozilla.

The patch is against kdebase-3.1.2.tar.bz2 and is for kdebase-3.1.2/konqueror/konq_viewmgr.cc

Here is the diff:

549a550,560
>   else
>   {
>     int iTab = tabContainer->currentPageIndex();
>
>     if( iTab == tabContainer->count() )
>       iTab--;
>     else
>       iTab++;
>
>     tabContainer->setCurrentPage( iTab );
>   }

What is there is pretty self explanatory.  It is surely not the best way to do it - but it was the easiest (for me).  Most of the code came out of activateNextTab().

I would be interested in knowing if this topic has come up before - and/or if there is already a fix for it in Current.

Thanks,
Derek
