Duplicate tab not focusing newly created tab
Then right-clicking on a tab and selecting "duplicate this tab" instead of pressing CTRL+T, the newly created tab does not receive the focus. I don't know if this is intentional but since it has CTRL+T as a shortcut and it does not behave the same, i'd consider it a bug.

2wanderer: I would consider this as a feature 
This way you can duplicate a tab just to preserve the current location without interupting your workflow !
If you want to work on the duplicated tab, you can use CTRL-T (for keyboard-freaks) or just double-click on a free space at the tab-line (for mouse-junkies)
So leave the "duplicate tab" for background creation as it is ...

I don't see much use for such a feature. Most of the time when you create a new tab, you want to do something with it, not create it and leave it there just to take up space or do something with it after 10 minutes.sqa_wizard wrote:This way you can duplicate a tab just to preserve the current location without interupting your workflow !
It's not an easy shortcut to use when you have one hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse.sqa_wizard wrote:If you want to work on the duplicated tab, you can use CTRL-T (for keyboard-freaks)
Well, this is a solution (if you have enough space in the tabs bar)sqa_wizard wrote:or just double-click on a free space at the tab-line (for mouse-junkies)

This is indeed intentional: You can right click on ANY tab and duplicate it this way, while Ctrl+T duplicates only the current tab. Therefore these two are completely different functions.Then right-clicking on a tab and selecting "duplicate this tab" instead of pressing CTRL+T, the newly created tab does not receive the focus.
Correct, as it should be (it's not locked)- If u press CTRL+T the new Tab has the new Name
Where? The right click menu does not show the name of the tab. When I choose "rename", it also shows the new name...- if u use right-click-menu it has the name of the locked-folder

Ah, I see what you mean. Indeed the title is kept by mistake in this case. I cannot promise that I can fix that before the release of TC 7.01. It's a minor annoyance, but may be very difficult to fix.
