I'm using TextPad 4.4 under Win2K and I realised something strange with the Document Tabs when I opened up multiple documents. Under normal circumstances the Ctrl-Tab hotkey suppose to circulate through opened documents from left to right (right?); however, Ctrl-Tab seems to work only alternatively... by that I mean the first sequence of Ctrl-Tabs would work normally (left to right), but the next sequence of Ctrl-Tabs would circulate backward (ie. from right to left), then the next sequence it'll be normal again.....
Anyone experiencing similar problems?

RE: Funny Document Tabs...
As I understand it Ctrl-Tab does not walk along the document tabs (nor along the document list in the document selector), it walks thru the files in the order they were last accessed (within textpad).
First time you walk thru, you had not yet accessed the files, so they appear in the order they were created (the same order the document tabs were created, but probably a different order than in the document selector - the order there depends on whether you show full paths or filenames only)
As some people use the document selector only, some the document tabs only, some both, some none, which order should the files be walked thru?
I guess walking thru them in the order the files were last accessed is standard MFC behaviour, as many other programs use this method (e.g. Visual Studio)
