I have a TabbedPane with six tabs, causing three of the tabs to be accessible only from the peek feature. When I select one of the tabs which is not shown on the tab bar by default, the name and icon of the tab usually appears where the peek button is to indicate to the user which tab is selected. However, sometimes the name of the tab doesn't appear on the peak button, and there's no indication to the user that they've selected one of the tabs in the sidebar.
This is by design. If you select a tab that is always on the action bar, then the overflow button needs to indicate that nothing is selected from the overflow menu.
All tabs - whether or not they are pinned to the action bar - are displayed in the overflow menu. When you select an item from the overflow menu, and that item has a correspondong tab in the actionbar already, then the tab itself is selected, rather than the overflow tab
There's not much to show in the screen shot. When a tab that's not shown in the action bar is selected from the overflow menu, the tab will not be shown on the action bar about one out of three times - the peek button will only show the three lines. I cannot reproduce this bug on all devices.
Another way of describing the bug is sometimes when a tab that's not in the action bar is selected, on the action bar it will appear that no tab is selected.
That does sound like a bug then.. I never noticed this before. Was this on the latest GC builds? I would expect it to be fixed at some point, it definitely doesn't sound like its supposed to act this way
