And a new question for today: I’m experimenting with the tabStrip and finding that a single left-click on a tab causes the windows to swap but a second left-click is required before the tab is rendered in the “selected” fashion (i.e., highlighted). Why would this be? Is there a setting for this that I’m not seeing?

Do you have the the tab strip property “Selected Tab” bound to something? This may be overwriting the normal navigation behavior of the tab strip itself.

There’s also some good navigation tips (and some more details about how the tab strip works) at this link:

What I did to make this work is set the “Selected Tab” property to:  
[System]Client/User/CurrentWindow
