I usually have a lot of tabs opened Too often I expirience that instead of moving from a tab down to another tab, I instead get the first tab changed to a new window :( I seems to happen because I move the mouse down and not to the left or rigth to antother tab It is very annoing. Is there a way to avoid this ? kind regards from denmark
