Re: panelNavigation bug in Firefox 2.0 RC3
Hmm little follow-up. I can reproduce the issue only when tabs are placed in a panelBox (HTML table imbrication issue maybe?)

Re: panelNavigation bug in Firefox 2.0 RC3
One last comment. The issue occurs in tableLayout as well as panelBox. The mouse down trick always works. It really looks like a table imbrication issue with Firefox.
