Different tab is in focus when panels are floated

[Jonathan]

In our application we are using the Docking function to hold several tabbed panels of information, docked at the bottom of some screens.

By default these panels are tabed and DockedBottom. However if the user then drags them to float, we have noticed that the tab in focus always changes to the tab furthest to the right.

You can see examples of this behaviour in your 'First Look' example.
Make sure the Output tab is selected on the Error List panel and then drag the panel to float it. As soon as it floats the Error List tab is selected.
(Similarly if you have the Solution Explorer tab selected and float that panel, the Properties tab is selected.)

Any idea what causes this and is there any way to ensure the tab in focus when docked stays in focus when it is floated?

Thanks in advance.
Jonathan
