Because, just highlighting the active tab is forbidden? It *might* be a
terrible idea for other reasons though. I have only seen it in an editor
(UltraEdit) which was reasonable good at some stuff, and in a firefox
extension (which did the highlight active tab). In both apps, I found the
idea passable, though a vertical solution would have been better.
Incidentally, when you only have one tabbar, you are forced to reorder when an
out-of-tabbar tab is selected (Eclipse does this, as I recall, and it *is*
quite annoying) or simply scroll the tabs by a huge amount like kdev3, which
is also hugely annoying, since the file you were just editing is now
completely out of sight.
