Description Kevin McGuire CLA 2003-02-06 18:54:05 EST 
I wasn't sure if this was an Update UI or SWT bug.  I'm logging it here since 
I don't see the same problem in other uses of tabs.

Help->Software Updates->Update Manager

In the resulting perspective, the right side of the "Selected Update" tab 
disappears when its left neighbour "Install Configuration" is selected.  Its 
really confusing visually.

By contrast, other places in the desktop where we have stacked views do not 
exhibit this (eg. open the sync view in the resource perspective and compare 
its tab and "Tasks").

With M5, I can see the same behaviour with all other stacked views. I think 
this is how custom tabbed folder is drawn.

Moving to SWT for comment.

Typo, should've been:

"That's NOT what I see..."

If the last tab in the tab folder is selected, it will have a right edge.  If 
it is not seleted, it will not.

In your first attachment, the seleted tab is "Install Configuration" therefore 
the last tab ("Selected Updates") has no right edge.

In your second attachment, "Synchronize" is the last tab and it is selected 
and therefore it has a right edge.

This is what the artist wanted.  Closing as WONTFIX.

Interesting, never noticed that selection did this.  Ok.
