You did not mention your widgetset or platform.
The problems depend on PageControl behavior on different platforms. I
debugged a lot and the configuration code itself is doing the right thing
now. For me the whole feature works well with 3 widgetsets, GTK2, QT on
Linux and then Windows. I am surprised that you still get so severe errors.
QT had redraw problem, one tab disappeared etc., but I got it fixed.
But yes, the PageControl update part of component palette is very nasty.

Can you verify that the configuration works correctly after restarting the
IDE?
It would mean there are only redraw problems.
