Has anyone found or no anything regarding a solution or a bug fix to stop the elements from falling thru a tab?

"Falling thru"? I'm not sure what you mean by this. Could you clarify, please?

I believe billgorden is talking about the problem when you try to move LE on to a tab it often will not stick were you put it, but actually falls onto a different tab or canvas. 

This is discussed in this link

According to the folks posting in thread, the information in that thread took care of the problem.  Is there something else going on?

I am not sure if the issue is resolved or not. However it seems to be a potential problem to the user.

I just took a tab element that has 2 tabs
1 marked address that is tab 17
1 marked tab 18 that is tab 18

On tab 17 I have tab home that is tab 6  work tab 7 and insureds that is tab 10

On tab 18 I have a tab 8 a tab 9  and a tab 11

On tab 11 I have a tab 12 13 and 14

If I open tab 6 and move a LE onto it I can receive a message parenting to tab 6 or 11 or 14 depending on were I move the element within the open tab.

The tab sizes look to be correct with each tab a little smaller then the preceding tab it resides on. I have used tabs enough to be in the habit of always reading the parenting message so if I was starting from scratch I would correct the problem immediately. But this gets more complicated if you are redesigning the form or you are new at working with tabs.

So even though it might not be a legitimate bug in Sesame the usability of tabs in this manner will continue to be a problem and a thorn in many peoples sides and might artificially limit the use and benefits of tabs.


I am hoping this makes some sense to someone.  ???
