It's such a simple macro, I couldn't imagine what could go wrong unless we
have different expectations for it's usage. Maybe you could post an example
or export the tiddler and post here?
Comments --
The field "objecttabs" needs to already exist in the same tiddler where you
are using <<editnsave>>.
You don't need to reload your browser when activating simple non-javascript
macros. You only need to reload for plugins and javascript-based macros.
Good luck,
Mark
