Hello Phaninda, In the screencast there are no tabs highlighted; only the switching of tabs is visible. Perhaps the screencast needs to be either repeated or annotated. Currently it seems unclear to me. Maybe I was unclear in my description of step 2. I mean you need to switch to a different tab _which is not a part of the highlighted group_. Please check. Svetlana

Hello, You said "Observed that the highlighted tabs did not remain highlighted. Their selection got reset." This is correct. I propose to change this behaviour. I propose that the selection does not get reset. This change of the behaviour may be opt-in.

As per comment #7, it seems to be a feature request to keep the tab highlight after the user switches to a different tab. Hence, marking it as untriaged for further inputs from dev team. Thanks...!!

"highlight" means change the selection. So, this api should behave the same as what happens when the user changes the selection, which it does. The selection characteristics are the same as you see in other widgets that allow multiple selection. In particular, when the user selects a bunch of tabs (via key modifiers), and then clicks on another tab without modifiers, the selection is reset. To do otherwise is just confusing, as you would then have to unselect the existing tabs. |
