Hi Mirten
This happens to me too, and not only in tabbed pages. In my case, it's even worst, since i use two shapes under all my controls ( the shape and the shadow ), and sometimes either one of them comes up. The only solution i've seen so far is to rebuild the form ( i copy everything except the 'mean shapes' and paste in a new form ).

Regards,
Jaime
