[Framers] FrameMaker tab bug workaround

Hi all,
I found a workaround to the FrameMaker bug that when you change a tab
stop value, it sometimes reverts to the original value before you can
click Apply in the Paragraph designer.
It takes a fraction of a second to revert back to it's original value.
So the workaround is to place the Continue button of the Edit Tab Stop
dialog box over the Apply button of the Paragraph designer, then
double-click the Continue button in the Edit Tab Stop dialog box. The
first click closes the Edit Tab Stop dialog box. The second click clicks
the Apply button in the Paragraph designer. The double-click is faster
than the time it takes for the value to revert back to original tab
value, so the apply takes effect with the new tab value.
I hope this helps.
