Ah okay. I didn't pay much attention to the core tiddler it opened, I just noticed it hadn't opened my A-Z tab and then fixated on that. I was thinking that it was selecting the tab before it had populated the new ones and so it just dropped back to a default. It's not a massive pain but it is annoying.
If it's a bug then hopefully it will get picked up and fixed. Do I need to do anything to raise it? Thanks, Mark.
