           Summary: Closing a tab should focus the previously selected tab
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.4.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde-bugzilla at thequod.de


Version:           2.4.3 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

Apparently Konsole selects the tab to the right when closing a tab, and wraps
around to the first one when the rightmost tab gets closed.

When closing a tab, the the previously selected tab should get focused.

This is a huge usability problem, when you have multiple tabs (5+ opened) and
often open and close new ones (e.g. when configuring your shell config):
the new tab gets opened at the end, and when it gets closed, you have to figure
which tab you were working in before.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two tabs
2. Go to the second one
3. Open a new tab (third one), it will get focus
4. Exit the shell


Actual Results:  
The first tab is focused, not the previously selected one.


Expected Results:  
The previously selected tab (from where the new tab was opened) should have
focus.

An internal stack of recently focused tabs is required (in case you close two
or more tabs without opening a new one).

When such a stack is available, it would be useful to use it also for
navigation: instead of only going to the left/right tab, you could cycle
