Hello,
I'm new to Ranorex and I'm wondering about some things...
First things first: When I press Ctrl - Tab to change between tabs, Ranorex Studio (9.1) sometimes brings up the tab list shortly, but as I'm releasing the keys fast, it doesn't change tabs. I'm pressing Ctrl - Tab to change tabs, so it should just do the default, opening the previously opened window.
Ciao,
Eike
PS: This should be easily reproducible with some UI test automation tool...
Ctrl - Tab
Re: Ctrl - Tab
Hello Eike,
I hold down "Ctrl" and then press "Tab" the required number of times to get to the correct tab and then release the "Ctrl" key. I think this is how the tab switching is designed. It works very well. Can you not do like this instead?

Re: Ctrl - Tab
Weird enough, as a Ranorex developer I stumbled over this behavior just recently, too. It only happens if you press Ctrl+Tab really quickly, resulting in Ctrl being released before Tab. In other words, if you carefully press the keyboard shortcut, it works, but not if you just press it sloppily.
As all the common tools with tabs usually also handle the "sloppy" shortcut - and I got annoyed by Studio's behavior, too -, I added code to handle the fast Ctrl+Tab. The fix should be included in the next service/minor release (9.1.1 just got released, so the fix would be in 9.1.2 and 9.2.0).

Did you ever consider the annoyance of not being able to close some tabs by just clicking their "x", and instead have to open them, which makes them have an "x", and then be able to click it...?
Re: Ctrl - Tab
No, I have not considered this an annoyance, yet
Probably, because I use my mouse wheel to close tabs, i.e. by clicking the mouse wheel button on a tab header you can also close non-open tabs.
Adding an 'X' to every view is more like a feature request and might not be that easy, so please file a feature request on our uservoice page, thank you!
