So was I until this particular case shown in the
screenshots
Sometimes it helps if you go one tab down and two tabs up
if you can't go up, or one tab up and two down if you
can't get one tab down.
Sometimes it helps if you click in a different place,
Sometimes it helps if you switch the section in the Info
Panel to -say- Help first, then back to Attributes and
switch tabs then.
However, in this particular case, no matter what I do, the
Info Panel has become totally disfunct as a result of
what's in the tab view.
The only workaround seems to be to delete the content in
the tab view, work on the other tabs, then when the work
is done, redo the tab view that's causing the problem
afterwards and hoping that you will not need to make any
changes to any other tabs anytime soon.
This is of course totally inacceptable. I have to say, I
am seriously shocked to see how mediocre the quality of
Apple's developer tools is.
Until recently I would have never thought that Apple is
capable of dumping such a pile of dog droppings on their
customers.
If this has been the status on the NeXT platform, then I
am not surprised that NeXT flopped as a business. The
concept of how things *should* work is absolutely
fantastic, but the implementation of it is as horrible as
otherwise only Microsoft would be able to commit the crime
of doing.
The time I have wasted on trying to work around all these
nasty little bugs in IB and Xcode have entirely eroded the
time I saved using visual development tools in the first
place.
Time for Apple wasting their resources on silly gimmicks
like Dashboard et al and first deliver a stable set of
developer tools.

Tried that already. In fact hitting the escape key can
have serious consequences like deleting the content of the
tab view. Keyboard shortcuts seem to be influenced by this
bug.
I can put up the NIB file for the project on the web if
anybody is interested in playing with this.
anyway, thanks for the response.
