[FIXED]: Deleting empty tab container removes elements outside container

App Building
1

Created an app with elements inside a tab container. Decided to separate the elements and remove the tab container as follows:

  1. Drag all elements outside the tab container to be positioned directly on the form
  2. Deleted tabs from tab container so that the tab container is empty with no tabs
  3. Wait for these changes to be saved
  4. Select and delete empty tab container
    Step 4. also deletes all elements on the form that had previously been removed from the tab container.

This happens with many different types of containers I’ve noticed. The same would happen if you create a control within a {form, container, tabbed container}, drag it outside of the {form, container, tabbed container} and delete. I think once a control is placed within a parent container there is no way to disassociate it with the parent. Thank goodness for CMD-Z Undo.

have you tried first toggling the desktop display for that old container on and off, then renaming the old container, and then deleting it? this has worked for me as a workedaround to this issue
