204 - Tab subgroups inside inline groups become inline

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an options group with inline="true" childGroup="tab" and subgroups inside.
2. Inject into Blizz options, or otherwise display.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: tabs in a container panel.
Observed: inline panels in a container panel.

What version of the product are you using?
AceConfigDialog-3.0 ver 50

Please provide any additional information below.
Useful options table:
   self.options = {
   name = "options,
   type = "group",
   args = {
   tabcontainer = {
   name = "tabcontainer",
   type = "group",
   childGroups = "tab",
   inline=true,
   args = {
   primarytab = {
   name = "primary tab",
   type = "group",
   order=1,
   args = {
   option = {
   name = "option",
   type = "toggle",
   },
   },
   },
   secondary = {
   name = "secondary tab",
   type = "group",
   order=1,
   args = {
   option = {
   name = "option",
   type = "toggle",
   },
   },
   },
   },
   },
   },
   }

I believe a demonstration is in order.

This is what I'm trying to achieve. I thought this would be an container group, with childGroups='tab' and two groups of controls inside.

Nevcairiel, if I do what you said, I get the two-tab box at the bottom below all other controls (regardless of the order field) and broken (spanning out of the bottom of the container, the scrollbar flipped upside-down, etc).

I fail to see the point of that whole "tabcontainer" subgroup, anyhow. Remove it, set childGroups on the main group, voila, tabs!

I'm wondering if there's some basic misunderstanding here... if you want tabs, just DON'T set "inline=true"?

So... It's possible to have a tree-style tab control injected into the Blizzard options dialog with no problems, but impossible to have a tab set?

The inline property will cascade down the tree, so all groups contained in an inline group will be inline as well.

This is an intended design, because handling fixed-height groups in an variable-height container does not work.

Seems that in FeedOptions, hasChildGroups==false for my example group setup. Shouldn't it dig recursively into groups, checking if there aren't any nested non-inlines there?
