In any case, there's not much of a way to avoid it without a bad navigation decision, although I can think of a way right now. I'll ask our flash guy if he can set it to always default back to the active tab if you're not moused over the menu, although I don't anticipate that being easy at all (nor particularly neat in the code). At the point in which you mouse over another tab, the computer (which is not psychic) can either assume that you want to know about the information in the tab or can assume that you don't. However, since you moused over it, we have it assuming that you want to know about it.

In either case, your argument was poorly worded, since it said

It would be nice to be able to move within the same category, if they are always displayed.
This implies that your problem was that the links aren't always there, although for, say, dropdown menus, this will always be the case as the menu will collapse. At the least, the tabs are preloaded for you, instead of being blank... (like at the home page). Oh yeah and a quick fix? Mouse over the section that you're on....
