I have a window with something like 60 controls on it where all but 4 or five are on a pagepanel. I was changing the super class of all of the editfields by tabbing through the controls and pasting the new super into the super field. DON'T DO THIS. Your controls will move from tab to tab and screw up everything. And don't think you can use Undo to fix this, because you can't. Now I have to go and move every friggin control off the page panel and back on to set the tab index right. That's lame!

And the same thing happens if you move the page panel with the properties palette. The controls on the top tab will stay behind while the rest move, so naturally you'll want to undo it. (little do you know that you've already messed up the whole thing). Well when you hit undo, the page panel moves back, but then the controls from the different pages are mixed up since the controls that didn't move don't get put back on the tab correctly.


I've filed a report which better be fixed for 5.2 or someone's getting whacked with a wet noodle! >:\
