This is adding to Ben Goodger's and Mike Connor's ideas about managing large numbers of tabs. See [[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tabbed_Browsing/User_Interface_Design/Tab_Overflow#Other_threads_about_tabs.2C_tab_overflow.2C_and_tab_design]. Mike had concluded that while traditional multi-row tabstrips have the advantage of displaying all the tabs, they suffer from shifting rows or disconnect between the selected tab and the content area.

Shifting rows are not acceptable because they disorient the user. I believe that this is because it changes the percieved tab order (users "read" tabs from the top left, like a book). I've come up with a possible solution for this.
