P: Switching Tabs in Wrong Order || Shortcut - Roundabout

Hi, when I have multiple tabs open in Photoshop CC 2014, if I re-order them (by say, sliding the last tab to somewhere around the middle of 10 open files), I can't follow sequence if I use Command + ~ to cycle through them on my iMac. Photoshop still cycles through the images, but follows the original order instead. (So image 10 would still appear last rather than somewhere in the middle between 5 and 6.)

Would love to see this fixed. It's still present in CC 2014.

I can confirm this bug. It appears that Photoshop has two indices associated with each tab. One index is the order in which the tab appears in the GUI. The other index is the order the tab appears as you cycle through via Cntrl-Tab. This makes it difficult both to navigate properly, as well as to quickly set up before-after comparisons between different PSDs.

Thanks for providing better steps to repro. We'll take a look. Please stop with the insults. It doesn't add to the spirit of communication and the purpose of this site. Thanks.

I see the old "Avoid the Issue" solution, but I will pass. Take a moment to review your programs and the "Getting Started & FAQ" for making better applications. Sorry I don't have a link - it doesn't exist. How to reproduce this issue for n00bs:

1. Open a new document*
2. Open another new document*
3. Open another (a third) new document*
4. Press ctrl+tab a few times and ctrl+shift+tab a few times to navigate between open tabs. This is the proper tab order
5. Drag "Untitled-3" one tab left of its current position (at the far right) of your tab group
6. Press ctrl+tab. It switches to "Untitled-1" despite now being to the left (left == before. Are you having trouble because you're reading this from right to left?) of "Untitled-2"
7. Fix the problem.

Solution 1: Don't allow tabs or windows if you don't know how to implement them.
Solution 2: Update your tab indexes as the tabs are rearranged by the user for proper tabbing.

This problem came to my attention because of another failure of Photoshop: if many documents are open in tabs, it should be possible to access all of them. Often I wish to drag an element from one document to another via the Move Tool. If tabs are inaccessible at the top of the screen because of lack of real-estate, it becomes impossible to drop one element into another without rearranging your tabs. This is because of certain tabbing methodology where if you go to the next tab, the tab view is switched too far to either direction so one or the other document becomes inaccessible, which inspires the user to rearrange their tabs in order to share elements from one to the other. Fix this too. And don't suggest that I open new windows with respective tab groups - windows don't function correctly. Just because I OPENED a window recently doesn't mean I want it to have focus every time I switch back to Photoshop. How about you update that too - keep my most recent window in focus.

*No need to name docs. Name assumed to be "Untitled-[n]".

Gratitude reserved until this is fixed,

Hi sudoDeez,

I'm not able to reproduce the issue you describe. ctrl + tab cycles left to right through tabs and ctrl + shift + tab cycles right to left through tabs:
