On Carbon, give focus to any tab in a tab folder, then you can type the arrow keys to move to another tab, and space to select it. You cannot do this in SWT Cocoa TabFolders.

This is a keyboard accessibility issue.

Hmmm... I was wrong - it is possible to change tabs in a Cocoa TabFolder using ctrl+arrow (or the old standby - ctrl+PageUp/PageDown). So this bug needs to decide whether that is the correct Cocoa way to change tabs in a TabFolder.

If native cocoa tab folders change focus this way, then SWT ones should too.  Is it true that the tabs of cocoa tab folders don't take focus?  We need to prove this in X code.
