Hello, my dear FLTK gurus! I'd like to ask a few questions regarding TABs. I've been trying to figure out why is it that the deactivated TABs can still be selected. Is this supposed to be so??? All the other widgets (unlike the TABs) seem not to be selectable nor clickable once they are...

So, my problem now is how to free up some memory as I change screens bcoz...
