So the heading in NEWS, viz.:
*** The tab bar is frame-local when 'tab-bar-show' is a number.
is incorrect, and should instead say that the tab bar can be made
frame-local by using toggle-frame-tab-bar, is that correct? Because
the above heading tells me "if tab-show is set to a number, the tab
bar becomes frame-local", which is not correct, right?
Suppose now I did use toggle-frame-tab-bar, it still only allows me
only to enable and disable the tab bar for specific frames, but the
value of tab-bar-show is still the same for all the frames that do
display the tab bar. Correct?
Thanks.
