I am building a TabPanel that will have more tabs than can comfortably fit on one line. I don't see how to get the tabs to wrap around on a second and third line. I've used programs with TabPanels that span more than one line with tabs, so I know it can be done. I've just never done it. I'm not finding the "how to" in the Language Reference.

You must be using a Windows PC as that is the only place I've seen this. It has never been a Mac option and Rb hasn't specialized on any one platform for a while.

Plus, it's a horrible user interface - when you click on the top row, the tab you've clicked on becomes the active one and "pulls" the entire row down to meet the top of the tab area. Very disconcerting to have buttons shift around underneath the cursor, and it's impossible to remember where they are; you keep having to read all the tabs to figure out which one to click on because they're never in the same spot.

Oh, yes, now I get it. It's in Excel/Word, under the preferences window, no? (or at least, something common on a PC)
I agree: a nightmare for anyone who wants to use a PC regularly.
