Tab/TabSet always with fixed 5px margin

[casper.bang]

Been fighting an issue with default margin in tabs for a few hours now, but must give up. Even if margin/padding is set to 0 for TabSet and Tab, there always seems to be a 5 pixel margin around anything put into a Tab.

Looking at it with Firebug, it does indeed look like the child of the Tab DIV get's an absolute position set with left, top... = 5px. A similar thing have been reported in the past apparently: http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=8100&highlight=TabSet+margin

So it looks like a bug, unless this is a caveat of Tab and why setMargin() purposely has been omitted?!

Try

TabSet tabSet = new TabSet() {{setAttribute("paneMargin", 0, false);}};

This method will be exposed in a future build.

Appears we can now remove this margin with

tabSet.setPaneMargin(0);

JavaDocs appear to be incorrect as they state the default is 0, however there is a 5 pixel margin by default.
