Can't open a Tab in Content Mode

At a glance

The community member is happy with a new update and has two questions: (1) whether it's possible to switch tabs to edit content on other tabs, and (2) whether there's a reason why users can rename elements in content mode, as the community member doesn't want the heading element's name to be changed.

In the comments, other community members discuss these issues. They suggest locking down the ability to rename elements to avoid confusion, but note that it may be useful for certain workflows like building pages with templates. One community member reports an issue with tab functionality, but another confirms it has been fixed and released.

Hello! I'm really happy with the new update! 🤩

(1) I just want to ask if it would be possible to open/switch Tabs if the user needs to edit the content on the other tabs?
(2) I saw in the content mode that the user can edit the name of the element. Is there a reason for that? For example the name of my Heading element is H1 and the content mode user renamed it to something different, I think for me I don't want that to happen.

Thank you 🙏

  1. Good question. May have been an oversight as Navigator was reduced to only show Content Blocks but Navigator is also required to switch radix states.
  1. I would vote to lock this down. But devils advocate... what about if they build an entire page with templates, should they be able to rename? I think I'd still vote "no" because more times than not, I think editors will change this value thinking it will change it on the canvas.
cc @Oleg Isonen I'd create an issue for 1, but not sure on solution

What a quick response! haha!

Regarding 2 I see your point about renaming. Locking it down does seem like the safer option, especially to avoid confusion. If renaming is critical for certain workflows (like building a full page with templates), maybe you could implement a clear warning or idk? 🤷‍♂️ haha. What do you think?

Thank you so much @John Siciliano ! I really appreacite what you are doing. 🙌 😄

Seems like Tabs are broken in design mode too

Initially I can switch tabs clicking on Tab buttons.
But after any content (not button text) focus with edit cursor
Buttons are not working

Same behaviour in Content Mode too, until you click on tab buttons only - everything is fine,
any click into content it does not work

Fixed, released, now everything should be fine with Radix
