images disappearing

I have a tabpanel on a form and I have placed an add-record image on the top right of the tabpanel. The idea is, when they click this image I will create a new record in whichever tabpanel is currently open.

My problem is when the form first open you can see the image fine. If you click from tab 1 to tab 2 it is also there. But, if you click back from tab 2 to tab 1 the image disappears and there is nothing I can do to get it back, except close and re-open the form.

What can I do?

I think this is normal behaviour.
The same goes for an image on top of a button.
Bottomline: plade your image elsewhere on the form.
