Comment:

 I'm going to point this ticket to the recent proposals online for a new
 "tab-less" toolbar design, which addresses the issue brought up here in a
 way very similar to the way you've described while taking the "behave like
 buttons" notion even further.  While the proposal is quite different than
 the current UI, I'm very much in favor of this new approach and hope that
 we can get some more positive feedback to facilitate its adoption.  Let's
 put forth official discussion on interaction details/pros/cons in this
 ticket.
