Flicker to right tab, then left, when closing

[t-bone]

In Tab Control 0.4.1, with "focus left tab when closing current tab" turned on, and a tab to the right of the current tab, when the current tab is closed, the tab to the right displays briefly, before the left tab is focused.

I've already sent an information about solution of this to TabControl autor, but I think I can post it here too

In TabControl code (file tabcontrol.js) find these lines:

//set focus to the tab that we want gTabControl.selectTab(tabToSelect);

and put them before these lines:

//call the browser's real remove tab function gBrowser.origRemoveTab(aTab);

and save changes to tabcontrol.js and tab_control-0.4.1.xpi file. Tested on FF3.01 and tab_control_0.4.1

Once again because formating in above post went wrong, the lines are:

//set focus to the tab that we want

gTabControl.selectTab(tabToSelect);

and

//call the browser's real remove tab function

gBrowser.origRemoveTab(aTab);

Thanks for the suggestion! I never got around to looking into this myself, but this fix certainly works!
