Blank tabs being displayed - please help

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I'm learning Panels and come across a display problem that I don't know how to fix. Can anyone advise?

I've managed to set up a set of horizontal tabs, but rather than them open in place within the panel, I want to link the title displayed in the tab to the actual node so that the page is opened in full.

I clicked on a cog and selected "Link the node title to the node" and yes it works.

However, what I now get is a blank tab in between each of the 6 tabs I want.

Anyone have any ideas?

I am really novice at Panels at the moment, so would really like a bit of help in understanding why this is happening. If I remove the "Link the node title to the node", the blank tabs go away.

See screenshot of what is being displayed and what settings I've got.

Many thanks
Jenifer

Probably wrong approach

The tabs that you are trying to use are (if I'm not misunderstanding you) what is called local tasks internally in Drupal.
These have a quite particular use, and you will have a lot of trouble if you want to use them as ordinary links.

I would instead suggest that you create a view or just a menu with the links that you want to use, and then style them to look like horizontal tabs. (There are several thems available which implement tab-like styles for the primary links, for example.)

Correct me if I'm completely misunderstanding what you're trying to do here.

Good luck and don't give up the fight!
