Description

The unit tabs used to quickly navigate between units in a subsection don't follow standard UX practice of merging into a "button group" where only the outer borders are rounded.

Current UI:

Expected UI:

  • only the outer borders are rounded
  • Adjoining (inner) borders are merged to a single border (1px) instead of double border (2px)

This may be more of a Paragon issue - it seems to lack an appropriate Tab component that looks like this. Or maybe we should just be using the Paragon Tab component. See https://paragon-openedx.netlify.app/components/tabs/#pills-usage

Research direction

Start by locating the unit navigation tabs in the frontend and compare their styling with Paragon’s button group and Tabs documentation. Verify which component is currently used, then check the result against the expected UI: only the outer corners are rounded and adjoining borders appear as a single 1px border.
