Fwd: [bugs #10849] Controls dissapearing from NSTabView during editing...

[Gregory John Casamento]

All,

This bug not a critical issue, just an annoyance. :)

I, however, felt as though this one was important enough to post here, since
not everyone has a subscription to the bug list.   A patch is attached to the
bug.  If you have 0.8.0, you might want to download and apply it.

Thanks, GJC
