new tab position depends on active tab

[rakkarage]

v1.11.0-insider

If I have two files 'pinned' open (keep open), when I open a third:

• new file opens on end if I got second file active
• new file opens in between two pinned files if first is active

I am not sure if working as intended?
but would anyone else appreciate an option to make new tab position independent of active tab?
Thanks.

"workbench.editor.newTabs": right|left|active,

This works as designed, we open the tab close to the location of the currently active tab. You can control this via the "workbench.editor.openPositioning" setting.
