Our tabs have been rescued

I hasten to assure my apparent detractors on a2k that this suggestion too might seem trivial, as with the scroll bar, since that most of us evidently don't use tabs, so please feel free to skip this OP. Us few who do however, might mull over the implications

For years I had complained to Mac that he was continually destroying work in progress by deleting my tabs. I had speculated that he gives bonuses to his editing programmers for finding a new way an inadvertent keystroke would result in their instant loss

But finally he adopted my suggestion that it should be more difficult to lose them. Since the last rev they now pile up indefinitely, even reappearing after a shutdown and reboot

….and thank you Mac for finally paying attention to my pleading. But finally deleting the surplus one at a time is pretty tedious. At least you could have flashed a warning message, eg, "This tab is already open in two places, are you sure you need another"
