IE8 final tab color doesnt change ... bug

started off a tab here in Digital-digest Forums. Then opened another one by
linking to another thread here. Same colour – no probs. Then from that tab,
used my links toolbar to go to doom9 (in the same tab). The colour stayed the
same.

open new tab for doom 9 and a link from there color changed.

same thing happens in windows 7 version of IE8 RC

bug found by Blutach..! from digital-digest

By design. Tab grouping shows which tabs were spawned from another.
