Browser: Inconsistency in tab selection
A small inconsistency in the browser ui (1.0.3.8): When I'm in the tab selection screen with more than one tab open, I can tap on any tab thumbnail to open that tab – except the current tab (the top one): to open that, I have to pull right (or tap on the dots in the upper left corner).
I can understand the logic here (tap to change tab, or pull to navigate away from the tabs screen). And it's true that the current tab has a tappable element (the url/search field). Still, it would make sense to me that I could activate the current tab just like any other tab: by tapping on it (on anywhere else than the url field or the close tab button).

Browser: Inconsistency in tab selection
Edit: Closed as outdated – in the new browser ui the tabs screen is different, and this criticism doesn't apply anymore.
