The inconsistency is based around a scenario like this.
Open 4 tabs. click tab 1 and then tab 3. What order do you display the tabs in? Does tab 1 overlay tab 2? If closing tabs don't to the last open tab this now means that the visual stack is not accurate to how the program operates.
I understand the depth but there are better ways to show it that don't take up as much space nor have to deal with issues like visually showing the tab's z-order
- gluxon 13y agoThe Australis inactive tabs don't overlay. Take a look at the mockups. Only the active tab has a background and border styling.
- ximeng 13y agoChrome stacks away from the currently focused tab. If tab 6 of 10 is focused, 6 will be in front of 7, which is in front of 8, and so on; similarly 6 is in front of 5 which is in front 4, and so on. There is a subtle visual lead to the focused tab. If you then select tab 2 for example, tabs 3 to 6 will be restacked for consistency.
- Nick_C 13y agoI loathe that behaviour, it was one of the things that bugged me about Chrome. If I close a tab, I want the focus to go back to the previously viewed tab, not the previous tab in the z-stack.
