RE: Upgraded tabbed_pane_widget

Hi Michael,

Can you give me a hint on how to bring a particular tab to the foreground
programmatically?mytabpane.switchDisp(newTab) does not work for me for some
reason.

I also have the problem that the content of the new tab is temporarily
attached to the bottom 
of the currently visible tab (this disappears after clicking the tabs). 

Cheers,

Christian
