There seems to be an improvement on this.
The focus is still there if you click on the same tab a second time
(not double click, but two successive clicks) and then the focus stays
in tabs if you click on another tab.
Having said that, this problem does not arrise as often as it used to,
it does not bother me anymore to be precise.
I can reproduce it at will, but due to this improvement I don't
stumble upon it unintentionaly as I used to (and that was the main
problem).
I still don't understand rationale behind having a focus on tabs when
you can't trigger it by any other means than mouse anyway, but I can
live with it now.

Thanks!
