Comment 11 for bug 285999

I have it in terminator too, but it's A BIT better there.

The delay is in updating tab bar, but suppose that you switch from tab 1 to 2, contents get updated immediately, but tab bar takes about 1sec to get updated and if you switch to tab 3 before tab bar gets updated, contents don't change till tab bar gets updated, look at this time-line:

you: switch command 1 * switch commad 2 * waiting
gnome-terminal: contents update for 1 * <---------------- delay -------------> * tab bar update for 2 * contents update 2 * <----------------- delay ---------------> * tab bar update for 2

so when you're working with gnome-terminal and you should deal with few tabs, it's really annoying.
