   Thanks for the report! To look into this we need a few more details:

   1. The exact Desktop version (shown in Settings / About) and your macOS and Linux versions. On the current code, the next/previous tab shortcuts walk the visible tab order rather than route history (that's what fix(app): follow visual tab order #39241 changed), so it matters whether your build includes that change.
   2. Does it happen every time with these steps, or only sometimes? If only sometimes, does anything seem to trigger it, for example after using back/forward navigation, or after closing and reopening tabs?
   3. Which shortcut and where the focus was: Ctrl+Tab, or Cmd/Ctrl+Option+Arrow? Was the focus in the chat or prompt, or in the side panel (file tabs)? The same keys also cycle side-panel tabs while that panel has focus.
   4. The tab order you actually got for the C, A, B case, e.g. starting from A, Ctrl+Tab went to ….

   You can reply here with the details, or edit the issue. If you edit it, please also leave a comment saying you've updated it, so we know when you're done.

   Closing this for now, since we haven't heard back. We needed the exact Desktop version and a few repro details before we could investigate. On current builds, the next/previous tab shortcuts already follow the visible titlebar order rather than route history (see #39241), so we couldn't tell whether this is a regression or an older build.

   If you still see this, please reply with your Desktop version, your OS versions, which shortcut you used and where the focus was, and the tab order you actually got. We'll gladly take another look. Thanks for reporting!
