Mouse Cursor gets Trapped inside TabControl

[Darrell Wesley]

When I place a Tab control on a form with one or more TabPages and click
inside one of the pages and then click on a tab the mouse cursor gets trapped
inside the tab control until I click on something other than a tab.

Does anyone know what's taking place?

One other thing how do you delete the control from the form?

I usually just hit 'Escape' to release the cursor.

As for deleting the control, try selecting the control from the drop down at
the top of the Properties panel and then hitting delete as this should
highlight the control on the page.

In addition to the other replies, AFAIK that's a known bug.
