[PF] Issues switching between tabs on Pathfinder Character Sheet

Tonight was the first time using Roll20 to run a new game for my friends and we all had a blast. But, there was issue that plagued most people in the group. Sometimes we couldn't switch from one tab to another in the character sheet. For Example from Core to Attacks or Skills to Spells. It seemed to happen in both Firefox and Chrome. It seemed like it might only happen to people when they used the "popped" out window, but I'm not 100% sure. Closing and opening the journal window didn't fix it, but reloading the entire roll20.net window did. Is this a known problem? Is there some way to reduce this from happening. We eventually figured it we just left things on the All tab, then it wouldn't be a big deal, but the tabs are nice to make things easier to find. We all still had a great time.

There's an issue that crops up from time to time on tabbed sheets. Haven't seen it in a while though, so I'm not sure if this is your issue...  Check for any attributes named "TAB" on the Attributes and Abilities tab of the character journal and delete them.
Are the attributes case sensitive. I doubt it, but thought I would ask. There is a "tab" attribute, but no "TAB" attribute. Looking at the different character sheets they have dvarying valuers for the "tab" attribute.

I was recalling from memory.  ;-) Try and delete the attribute "tab" and see if it helps with your sheet's navigation.
I deleted it. We will see how it goes next session. Thanks!
We had our next game and I'm sad to report that switching tabs was still an issue for us. We did find that when we deleted the tab attribute that it did fix the issue, but then the tab attribute would come back. It was worse for some players than others. Any ideas how to keep the tab attribute from coming back or other work around? Any other info we can provide to try and troubleshoot? I'm surprised no one else is running into this, is there something we could be doing that causes this issue? We understand this is community driven and a few of us in the group might be looking to contribute in the future, but we are still getting our bearings on the platform. We are thankful for what we have now and can work around if need be.

Switching tabs on the sheet creates the attributes that include "tab" in their name.  That's normal and expected even after you manually delete them.  The trick of deleting them(usually the presence of multiple "tab" attributes) was a solution to a similar issue of tabs switching back to previous tab. You should report the issue to the Bug forum so the Devs might have a look.  We haven't changed anything in the code concerning tabs, and I haven't seen anyone else (maybe one other case) reporting a problem.  ;-(  
My group and I are having the same issue.  Been having tab switching issues since before roll20con.

My group had horrible times last night. I had to keep going in and deleting the "tab" attribute. I don't know why. But half the players were affected. Deleting the tab attribute sometimes only fixed it for a second until after the person changed tabs. After the first time it broke again.. I think maybe part of it might have been because sometimes two people had the same sheet open Also could be a case of duplicate attributes with different capitalizations?
I don't think it has to do with having two people having the same sheet open as that wasn't the case with my group. I was going to wait to my next game, which is with all brand new characters, and then collect the details asked for in the bug reports if it continued to happen.
