Description Eugene Kuleshov

Currently if tab group is not using entire window width, when minimized it look
like a "half tab" with min/max buttons.

It will be a much better representation of minimized tab group if it would be
shown as vertically stacked icons (especially for a view tab group). It will be
somehow consistent with quick view toolbar.

Optionally you can probably add an option to show tab titles turned on 90 deg.

This is a dupe of an earlier bug. I agree that this would be nice, but it's not
currently possible.

I tried implementing the vertical toolbar solution, but it looked silly (the
difference in appearance was jarring - nobody I showed it to liked it)... and
there is currently no way to render CTabFolder tabs sideways, so I can't use the
second solution.

I suspect that this would require implementing a custom widget that looks like a
sideways CTabFolder, but that's a big task.

Maybe you can just replace entire tabfolder with something simple, like panel
with a single vertically aligned label and min/max buttons?

Any plans to address this in post 3.1 or 3.2?

Seems a dup of bug 76888, and also bug 88239 comment 7 mentions the problem (and
provides a mock up).

When implementing, bug 107819 should be considered to make the tabs look cleaner.

There are currently no plans to work on this feature.

This has been superceded by the min/max behaviour in the new 3.3 presentation.
