[Adium-devl] Tab bug?

[Kent Sutherland]

Well, it didn't work out as well as I had hoped. Moving setting
_awakenedFromNib cause more trouble than it fixed after testing. So
back to the drawing board I go :)

The main part of the problem is that PSMTabBarControl starts out with
hideForSingleTab off, so Adium and PSMTabBarControl do a little dance
so that everything is positioned properly off that assumption. If you
change the default value of hideForSingleTab in the PSMTabBarControl
you can solve the problem, but it causes trouble elsewhere - in
applications that are already relying on PSMTabBarControl to behave a
certain way. I don't see an easy fix yet, but I'll get this problem
stomped somehow :)

Another thing I just noticed: Animations for PSMTabBarControl are
still off by default in trunk, I think. Do we want to turn them on for
1.1? Some demo movies:
