Howdy,

Hmmm... I didn't realize that preference was set by default. I've turned it off.

Then I open eight files 1--8.tex which have different contents and merge them into a single window with eight tabs. I usually run into a problem if I click on the right-most tab or on the left-most tab; the contents and file don't switch but the tab does when I click on another tab. Other combinations of clicks seem to switch properly (of course I haven't tested all permutations).

If I switch tabs one by one using Window->Show Previous/Next Tab it works.

By the way, I've set up keyboard shortcuts for Show Previous/Next Tab, Move Tab to New Window and Merge All Windows.

Good Luck,
