Has anyone else noticed that when you have a tabbox with enough tabpanels to
spill to a third row, the row order is non-intuitive? Specifically, I am
seeing the following behavior:

If I have 9 tabpanels and the tabbox is big enough for two rows, I see:
5 6 7 8 9
(1) 2 3 4

Where 1 is active. If I cycle through the tabpanels (ctrl-tab), after
tabpanel 4, tabpanel 5 displays as expected.

If I have 9 tabpanels and the tabbox is only big enough for three rows, I
see:
4 5 6
7 8 9
(1) 2 3

Where 1 is active. If I cycle through the tabpanels (ctrl-tab), after tab
panel 3, tabpanel 4 displays as expected by me, the programmer, however it
is surprising to the users since normal Windows behavior would move from 3
to 7.

Is this a bug? A feature? Is it configurable?
