Just noticed the little "> <" arrows indicating where a dragged tab in the editor will be placed.

Nice touches like this and the recent refactoring/consolidating of settings dialogs, etc of the last year make the IDE appealing to use.

Never noticed it until you mentioned it. :-) It is a nice touch though.

There is still some problems with it though, unless it is fixed in a later revision. I'm using Lazarus 0.9.29 r25312 FPC 2.4.1 x86_64-linux-gtk 2 (beta) of yesterday (2010-05-10).

* Arrows only appear when tab position is Bottom or Right.
* If tab position is Right, then arrows jump all over the place as I move the mouse up or down. I can't test tab position Left because no arrows appear at all.
* When tab position is Left or Right, I would imagine a Up/Down set of arrows being used to indicate the drop position - instead Left/Right arrow set is being used.

Interesting it works for gtk2. For me it only works on windows....

Try revision 25339

Hmm, same here.

Actually, it works for bottom, and right side tabs on gtk2

Did you try with gtk2 and changing the tab position of the editor window? Like I said, it only worked for me with tab position Bottom or Right (not the default Top or Left).

That's what I said! ;-)
