How to create a type def of a tab control?
Solved!
Interesting. Then deferring and selecting page 1 again applying and saving results in another no dirty dot but, the tab.vi tab keeps 13000 forward and remains greyed. until you hit the broken run arrow and it recompiles and runs fine.
I hate tabs
Edit
Create a tab control
Type def it
Save it
Drop it on a new vi
Save the vi
Open the type def
select reorder tabs
reorder a tab
launch LabVIEW again- it just crashed

What happens when you "try to close the control editor?" I don't see anything. The subVI constant updates with the new page name, however there is now a coercion dot in the main VI.

You guys are using busted software. Works fine for me. 
I've only ever gotten this to "accidentally" work, and I could never reproduce reliably how to do this.
I see a LV proverb here that goes something like this:
"When Ben has an issue, it will always be an interesting one." 😉

So it may have worked in 2011 but is busted again now in 2015. Since I do not think that drivers for 2011 are supported along side modern versions of LV, back-saving and working in 2011 is really not a option for me.
So I will call this a bug, try to flag some support and try to work around this issue the hard-way, manually chasing down all of the places in the code where I change tab pages.
Bummer and double-bummer.
Type-defs are like the "Little girl, that had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good she was very very good, but when she was bad she was horrid."

Why, You may be correct!
"There has been a corrective action request filed for this bug (CAR 603092) and the LabVIEW 2016 f1 patch should address this bug directly for LabVIEW 2016 users. You can find the link to the download here:
LabVIEW 2016 (32-bit) f1 Patch
http://www.ni.com/download/labview-development-system-2016/6358/en/
Here is also the list of bugs that the patch should fix.

Of course that doesn't address why the NI Update service has failed to publish the patch! One would expect it to be listed in the Aug-2016 to Jan 2017 list since it has been around since Sep 30, 2016 but Nope, it isn't there and the update service don't know about it either!

Did downloading the patch solve your problem?
