This isn't a bug, the first and last tabs are always displayed.

the last is supposed to be tab no 12 which is not displayed. instead tab 13 is displayed although is not supposed to since i have max tabs 12

I think what Nibbler is trying to say is that the first and last tab will ALWAYS be there. So if you had a total of 48 tabs, the ordere displayed would be
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,48, if you are at the beginning of your tabs. if you were somewhere in the middle it may show 1,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,48. so the last and first will always be there. if you cut your allowed number of tabs to 5, then you'll see 1,2,3,4,13 (since you have a total of 13 tabs).

On the other hand, I could be completely wrong at trying to figure out what Nibbler is trying to say;)

If we only displayed 12, and you had 100 pages, a visitor would have to click the 12th tab 7 times before the last tab was available.  That's why the first and last tabs are always visible (and are counted as two of the 12 tabs on the screen.)
Do not send me a private message unless I ask for one.  Make your post public so everyone can benefit.

Maybe the last tab should be represented with a "last" text or an icon like >| or >> and vice versa for the first tab. Or there should be a visual separation. It does look confusing to a visitor to see the tabs like that.

This is what I did with the Viper guestbook skin.

1) umpqua5's explanation is correct, thank you for pointing this out to Konstantinos
2) I agree that there should be a better way of handling the last tab (as suggested by TranzNDance), but this would be a feature request then, as we have a feature freeze for cpg1.4.x. In fact, I was planning to add the "previous/next mod" to cpg1.4.x when there hasn't been a feature freeze yet, but I failed to make it bug free before the feature freeze started, so I decided to schedule this for cpg1.5.x
