Summary
Panorama has a lot of small interaction problems, and some conceptual problems too. We'd like to spend some time to eliminate as many of these as we can.

Release Requirements
Designs
Must-have:
- You can't click a group to activate the whole group (Creating a new group and clicking in it should just create a blank new tab) (Don't show the drag cursor on groups now that entering the group is the dominant operation. Dragging could still work, of course.) (Remove New Tab button)
- When creating a new group, autofocus the title field (also for creating groups by dragging)
- Tabs should not be able to exist without a group
- a new group control
- an exit control
- a text field to filter instead of the search icon
Nice-to-have:
- Multiselect is not supported in groups
- Blank groups with no name get removed, shouldn't
Stuff we are undecided about or don't know current state of:
- Never show me groups when I haven't asked (closing the last tab in a group, Aero Peek)
- minimize need for manual positioning and grouping
- Groups from Panorama could show in List All Tabs — but we should probably just show the group names, not individual tabs. Related: bug 596017
Already fixed:
- FIXED: Private mode ungroups your tabs (still the case?)
- FIXED: When you close the last tab in a group, you automatically get sent to another open group, is this what we want?
- FIXED: Hitting Cmd-W when in panorama removes the selected tab, which is unexpected (it feels like a window operation at that point)
- WONTFIX: You can't detach a group to a window
- FIXED: Text editing doesn't support arrow keys
Next Steps & Open Issues
- Talk to the Panorama team about prioritization and estimates
- Make sure all of these have bugs filed
- Wireframes/interaction spec for the bugs that need it
