Hi. I am encountering a few problems with the Tab Strip component.

1. When I create the tab strip and edit the Tab Data dataset and change the name of the first tab from ‘Tab 1’ to anything else, I get an uncaught null pointer exception when attempting to open the Tab Strip Customizer.

2. None of the mouse click events seem to be executing.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for the report, I was able to confirm both of these issues. I’ve made a bug report and hopefully I can sneak the fixes into the 3.3.1 release.
