Summary

Blank screens display intermittently in some application flows, mostly at the end of the flow. The below two exceptions are observed in the log.

While removing a tabPage from the tabPane using an index (which is already removed before), it displays a blank screen.
However, when trying to remove the tabPage from the tabPane using the "tag name" (which does not exist now since it is already removed before), it does not throw any exception and page is not blank.
"removeTabPage(idOrTag)" in tabpane.htc, is behaves differently for ID and tag.
