Thanks Guys. I take the point about the loss of the visual clues with 2 lines, so will make one line. Will also make padding-bottom: 0px; on the selected tab so that if there is any second line it aligns left - a more gradual degradation for the moment.
Also like having the option of the vertical tabs. Hope that gets added to the documentation. Great help, well beyond the original problem - many thanks.
