Re: Re: can we have 'stacked tabs' in 3.6?

I created an enhancement MR at:
	http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41511
Not sure how this works - I imagine if you go there, you can vote
for it (when I do, I don't see a voting mechanism - but that might
be because I'm the originator?)

Thnx,
tom
