Notebook tabs in OSX
Alessandro Crugnola *sephiroth*
(I do not have a mac to test with) but others tell me that with mac the tabs of a notebook panel does not work fine because then
they do not fit in the panel no tab scroller appear (i see that under windows there is a little tab scroller instead), and because
the fact i cannot use multiline tabs with non windows platform, it's a big problem.
Another thing i noticed. I need to send a set size event to the gui when using a multiline notebook otherwise when switching between
one tab to another there are problems of visualization.
Thanks in advance

Correct. The native tab control does not support it. Apparently the UI
designers at Apple feel that there should never be more than about half
a dozen tabs on any layout, and that if more pages are needed then there
is something wrong with the UI.
The wx.Listbook is an alternative, or creating a generic tab control.

Again, only the Windows native tab control supports multiple layers of
tabs. You can't sqeeze milk from a stone.

Is this still the case with 2.5.2.7? I seem to remember something being
done to fix this or a similar issue.

Yes, this still happens in 2.5.2.7
