Apologies, we really really have to get a new release out the door. The quick fix is to delete your $USER_HOME/.chainsaw folder (or if you are having problems with only a certain tab, files with that tab's name in the .chainsaw folder).
I would also suggest trying the developer snapshot from http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy - it includes a ton of new features not available in the current webstart version (Mac DMG and .zip available).
