Bug#738125: gedit: Please visually indicate which tab is the one currently in use!

[David Z]

Package: gedit
Version: 3.4.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

With more than one tab open in gedit, it can be quite difficult to keep them
organized without some indication of which tab is the one currently being
displayed.

I think a simple Bolding of the tab's title text, or perhaps a border or other
color change of the currently-in-use tab would be a wonderful and simple
measure to make your excellent program even better!

Thank you for all of your hard work.
