[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42980] GUI: when undocking editor, focus is in documentation rather than terminal

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #42980 (project octave):

Thanks for your attention, Torsten.

I'd think what needs to be changed is not so much the tab order (the symptom),
but the fact that it is the tab order that determines what pane gets focus
once another pane is undocked (the underlying cause).
The last active tab before some other pane is undocked simply  needs to be
remembered, so that focus can return there. Wherever it is in the tab order
shouldn't matter at all.
I hope I've made myself clear.

This probably holds equally for any group of panes stacked on top of each
other.
