There is either a change or a bug resulting in new (erratic) behavior of the nexttTab and prevTab commands. Previously when using these commands you'd switch between tabs left and right of your current one. Currently it appears this is happening in the order they were last active.

The documentation still states the previous (left+right) behavior: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/actions

If this is supposed to happen and is new behavior, I am unable to find any relevant info to that change. Also would there be a way to disable this "new" behavior?

Environment :

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.630]
Windows Terminal 1.4.3141.0

Steps to reproduce

Use CTRL+TAB to swtich between tabs.

Expected behavior

Swap between tabs left and right of the currently active one.

Actual behavior

Swapping between tabs in the order they were last active.
