Closing a tab in a TabPane doesn't activate any of the remaining tabs

[Edvin Syse <ed...@sysedata.no>]

When I close a tab in a TabPane, the TabPane-content area is left empty. 
I added a listener to deal with this like so:

         tabs.getTabPaneListeners().add(new TabPaneListener.Adapter() {
             public void tabsRemoved(TabPane tabPane, int index, 
Sequence<Component> tabs) {
                 if (tabPane.getTabs().getLength() > 0) {
                     int leftOfClosedTabIndex = Math.max(0, index - 1);
                     tabPane.setSelectedIndex(leftOfClosedTabIndex);
                 }
             }
         });

Is it correct that there is no such functionality or policies to choose 
from in the framework? I'm not saying it's a bad thing though :)

Yes, the selection reverts to -1 if you remove the selected tab. It is up to your app to decide how to deal with that case.
