Scaling of Tab-Control do not work correct

[Thomas_W.]

When I use the option "rescale objects on the front panel when resizing" in the "window size" category inside the VI properties, then my tab control has a wrong behavior. When I increase my window size, the tab control increases correctly. When I decrease it again, the tab control do not decrease and overlays the other controls.
Also a horizontal decoration line becomes a transversal line and my string control seems to scale different from the other controls so I get overlay effects again.
Does anybody know some hints how I can fix this ? If not this feature is not usable and I get some problems with customers with different monitor resolutions.

Many thanks for any idea
Thomas

Yes, there is a known issue with the scaling of tab controls with the window size. This will be fixed in the next release of LabVIEW. For now there is a workaround that might help:
Only scale the tab control as the panel resizes. Leave the "Scale all Objects on front panel as the window resizes" unchecked. Select the tab-control and go to edit->Scale Object with panel. This will not scale the objects within the pages.

In general please refer to this document for further information about misplacements that may occurr with the rescale option.
