Description:
Tab switching between queries up the top is inconsistent depending on cursor focus

How to repeat:
Have several query tabs open up the top
Run a query in one of them
Put cursor in the results panel to move around

Hit ctrl-page up to move to left query tab. INSTEAD, The execution plan page opens up.

Hit ctrl-page up again, and the query tab moves to the left.

Suggested fix:
Have ctrl-page up/down ALWAYS control query tabs regardless of cursor focus.

Which exactly version are you using 6.2.X?. Thanks.

6.2.3.12312 build 2280 (64 bits)

Please provide screenshots showing the issue. Thanks.

Run query, focus cursor on results grid

hit ctrl-page up: execution plan shows

hit ctrl-page up 2 more times, tab switches to the left as expected

Once the execution plan displays, you actually have to hit ctrl-page up TWICE to get it to move to the left query tab. The first ctrl-page up does nothing.

Thank you for the feedback.

Has there been any progress on this? I understand it is not as critical as a crashing bug, but ergonomics is an important aspect of being able to use a product effectively and I find this one in particular hampers my ability to quickly navigate between searches, for comparison and cross-reference style investigations. I'm sure others have similar workflows that would benefit from a fix for this as well (I hope so anyway!)

Thanks kindly.
