Bug Description

1. Single-clicking on the active tab's label shouldn't give it the focus. It's pretty useless, and makes you wonder why you can't type in the terminal (which misleadingly still has a red title bar).

See the gnome-terminal counterpart at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746665.

2. If you double-click on it to edit the label and finish editing by whatever means (press Esc, press Enter, drag the window titlebar etc.), focus should be given back to the previously focused vte.

Hmmm. For me I can't reproduce #1. Single clicks have the terminal as the focus and typing goes into the terminal.

#2 Is still a problem.

I guess I wasn't specific enough, sorry.

For both issues I mean the Gtk "tab label" when you have multiple tabs (Ctrl+Shift+T).

For #1, single-click on the tab label that is already the active one.

Ah, I see now. It's a single click *on an already foregrounded tab*. I was single clicking background tabs and thinking "What's the problem?"
