Hello,

You can change the renderer of your tab strip to “Simple”: It will change the text orientation. It’s the easiest way to do it.

Cya!

Thank you Overcraft31, I have checked with “simple”, but I get the desired results using “Folder” style.

Yes we can see your screenshots.  
I’ve seen the behavior that you describe in my designer too… Very disturbing!  
I hope someone know about this “behavior”, but I think it’s a bug…

If you launch the published app, what’s the behavior? (Can’t test it right now…)

Thank you very much Overcraft31.
