2. Issues with the Zellij UI / Behavior / Crash

Issue Description

I cannot focus on a tab in a layout when it is positioned between two other tabs.

Minimal Reproduction

Create a KDL file (e.g., test.kdl) with the following layout:

layout {
    tab {
        pane name="Pane1"
    }
    tab focus=true {
        pane name="Pane2"
        pane focus=true
    }
    tab {
        pane name="Pane3"
    }
}

When I start a session with zellij -l test.kdl, I initially start on the second tab for a few milliseconds but then roll back to the first pane.

Other Relevant Information

• Issue found in zellij 0.41.1.
• I tested this with zellij 0.40.1, and it worked correctly in that version.

hi,

i have the same behaviour. only the focus on the first and last tab works. every other focus jumps to the previous tab. so if you want to focus the 4th of 5 tabs, the 3rd is focused.

Hello friends!

I wanted to add that I helped troubleshoot this regression with the OP in discord, and have confirmed proper behavior in 0.41.1 and I just wanted to add a little noise to the issue. Thank you for the excellent soft!
