At the bottom of a north mounted module using a bottom positioned tab strip the line doesn’t extent the entire width of the window. I am sure this is a quick fix, but I can’t find this in the manual or forum.

It is not critical, it is just ugly. Thank in advance.

I “fixed” it by putting the line at the top of the south window.

The line is where I want it… it just doesn’t extend the entire width of a maximized window. I don’t see an attribute related. I like how the selected tab has no line under making it look like the main window below is a part of the tab. the line only extends 60% of a maximized window.

Well, it is possible that your layout mode of the component is relative so it will never stretch to the edges of the window. I would make the tab strip anchored layout to the top and left.
