[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53443] Variable Editor: openvar VAR should show the tab on which the variable editor is

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #53443 (project octave):

I think you are noticing something I didn't notice, which is that the focus
isn't actually changing when, say, the Variable Editor is docked in the main
GUI alongside the Command Line panel.  I've addressed that in the new
changeset candidate.  I think I see now that setFocus() doesn't do anything
unless the window is active (and the tabbed widget is visible).  I've move all
setFocus() instances after activateWindow().

The main goal of this changeset was to bring the tabbed Variable Editor to the
front of the tab stack.  In terms of layout, put the Command Window on top of
the Variable Editor so they share the tab bar.  In the Command Window now do
"openvar x;".  After the changeset, the Variable Editor should now appear on
top of the Command Window (and the "x" panel focused).
