[Qt-interest] Margins in QTabWidget

[Stan Warford]

That did it. It is not obvious that you have to click in the Object  
Inspector. I usually shift click in the Gui window to cycle up the  
various parent widgets. Not only do you have to use the Object  
Inspector to select tab, if you shift click in the Gui window, Qt  
Designer will _skip_ the tab. It would be nice if future releases did  
not skip parent widgets on shift clicking.

This is a great list. Thanks!
