I couldn't find it specifically stated in the docs, but I suspect that the TabNavigator is going to require *container* children and won't allow a naked control. It may be looking for "label" or something like that.
Wrap the RTE in a canvas and it works ok.

Hi all, I have placed a RichTextEditor into a tabNavigator, and I get the following runtime error. See sample app. If you remove the tabNavigator, then the RichTextEditor works fine. Any ideas? Am I doing something dumb?
