Title:
  Right click on tab bar always targets active tab

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Right click on the tab bar, on a tab other than the one that is open.
  Expected: Menu will apply to whichever tab was clicked on. Firefox/Chrome and other apps follow this behavior. Another option: the Gnome terminal and Nautilus focus the tab that is clicked on so it is clear what the menu will apply to.
  Actual: Gedit will always use the menu for the active tab, even if it was not the tab clicked on. This is not consistent with other apps, and it is not clear that this will happen.
  Personally, I prefer the Firefox/Chrome way, because if I'm right clicking I don't want focus on that tab, I just want to quickly save/reload/etc.
