However, I hit a dead-end with nesting TabLayoutPanel in a FlowPanel.
The dummy latin text in the following ui.xml never shows up (the tabs
are there, and clickable, but none of their child content displays):
==== NestedFlowTabLayoutPanel.ui.xml ====
<ui:UiBinder
xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'
>

<g:DockLayoutPanel unit='EM'>
<g:north size='5'>

</g:north>

<g:FlowPanel>
<g:TabLayoutPanel ui:field="tabLayoutPanel"
barHeight="28">

</g:HTML>
</g:tab>
<g:tab><g:header>That</g:header>
<g:HTML>
In consequat, odio non
tincidunt ornare.
</g:HTML>
</g:tab>
<g:tab><g:header>The Other</g:header>
<g:HTML>the other</g:HTML></g:tab>
</g:TabLayoutPanel>
</g:FlowPanel>
</g:center>
</g:DockLayoutPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
On the other hand, nesting a TabLayoutPanel in a LayoutPanel with
layers seems to work better, except for the aforementioned rendering
problem of layers sitting right on top of layers.
I think I changed my question: Are we seeing a bug in TabLayoutPanel
that makes it render improperly if nested in a table-based widget like
VerticalPanel or HorizontalPanel?
