In other applications scrolling with the mousewheel als changes the focus.

It's interesting, because I find it so much more intuitive than changing the focus...And I'm sure I've seeing it in some other application, but I can't remember where... Anyway, just found interesting how what we find intuitive or not is related to our life experience... 8)

as default scrolling with mousewheel changes the focus, but with key pressed (I suggest ctrl) we only scroll through the tabs without changing the activated tab.
The default behaviour, without additional key (scrolling and activating or just scrolling) can be made configurable and the additional key also.

I like the idea of making it configurable and having a modifying key to change behavior... I'd go for it...

Here comes an updated patch, that includes your changes, but make it configurable in "Settings -> Environment -> Notebooks appearance" (not the best title for it, but it's not totally wrong there). The text of the radiobuttons might not be optimal, but it's not easy to describe it in a short term (any better ideas are welcome).
The minimize space part works better now (selected tab will not be moved to the rightmost place, if mnot necessary), but works still not good with reordered tabs (drag and drop). An updated patch will come.
EDIT:
patch updated: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,13826.msg94108.html#msg94108

Jens: your patch seems to work well, I think I've not encountered any problems using it...
But I've another feature request:
1. open many tabs
2. enlarge the project manager (on the left side of the editor)
3. select the last opened file
4. shrink the project manager
The result is that there unused space on the notebooks (same as the file closing problem).

I got another one: C::B started to crash since application of this patch in very rare cases that seems to happen when C::B was running in the background and the mouse is hovering over the tab so that it gets "Re-Activated" I don't remember the exact reason though (I accidentally deleted the report file) but it happened more than once. I can (however) not reproduce... :-(

I will see what can be done.

I try to reproduce it on win7, but if the app is not active, the dwell-timer should return (after destroying tooltips if they still exist).
MouseEnter and MouseLeave events should not be triggered if the app is not active and therefore does not have the focus, but that might happen anyways, I will try to debug it.
