== Summary ==
Panorama has a lot of small interaction problems, and some conceptual problems too. We'd like to spend some time to eliminate as many of these as we can. We'd like to bundle these up as a feature page for ease of tracking — especially since some of the issues are related, and need to land in the same release.
We're doing this because it will benefit users by....

== Release Requirements ==
== Designs  ==
The designs are mostly smaller interaction problems and confusing conceptual models. We have filed bugs for the individual issues (see the relevant bug section below), but overall, these are the issues we're addressing:
'''Must-have:'''<br>
*You can't click a group to activate the whole group (Creating a new group and clicking in it should just create a blank new tab) (Don't show the drag cursor on groups now that entering the group is the dominant operation. Dragging could still work, of course.) (Remove New Tab button)<br>
*When creating a new group, autofocus the title field (also for creating groups by dragging)<br>
*Tabs should not be able to exist without a group <br>
*A "new group" control<br>
*An exit control<br>
*A text field to filter instead of the search icon<br>
'''Nice-to-have:'''<br>
*Multiselect is not supported in groups
*Blank groups with no name get removed, shouldn't<br>
'''Stuff we are undecided about or don't know current state of:'''<br>
*Never show me groups when I haven't asked (closing the last tab in a group, Aero Peek) <br>
*Minimize need for manual positioning and grouping<br>
*Groups from Panorama could show in List All Tabs — but we should probably just show the group names, not individual tabs. Related: bug 596017 <br>
'''Fixed:'''<br>
*FIXED: Private mode ungroups your tabs<br>
*FIXED: When you close the last tab in a group, you automatically get sent to another open group, is this what we want?<br>
*FIXED: Hitting Cmd-W when in panorama removes the selected tab, which is unexpected (it feels like a window operation at that point)
*WONTFIX: You can't detach a group to a window<br>
*FIXED: Text editing doesn't support arrow keys <br>
<br>
<br>
== Next Steps & Open Issues ==
* Work on the bugs
* Wireframes/interaction spec for the bugs that need it
* Figure out if there's any way to improve zoom performance, or if another approach is a better solution
