I've been getting the same behavior. I'll be working in a stack with property palette open. For a while it works fine, switching between objects without mishap. Then, for no apparent reason, I'll switch to a different object (say, from a button to a field) and suddenly, there is no Field tab. Often, I'll look at the Text palette and find the missing tab there, but I definitely didn't move it, at least not intentionally. I do notice that occasionally when I click between tabs in the properties palette that the mouse seems to "stick" and try to drag the palette when I am really trying to click the palette. So the two may be related. However, I'm quite sure that the disappearing tab thing has happened when there were no other palettes open. Usually if I close all open palettes, then open the Properties palette specifically for the object I'm working on, the tabs are all back. But once I've reached this point the disappearing tab behavior gets worse and worse until I restart Rev, then it behaves alright for a while. Once beta 2 comes out I'll see if that problem is fixed, then if not, monitor it more closely to come up with a recipe.
