Hi James, thanks for the heads-up!

If you enable authentication (Settings > Users), the message will go away and shouldn't reappear. Authentication is a very good idea regardless, so that's the best way to resolve the problem.

More than one tab is certainly (intended to be) supported by the Individual option though; I'm not sure what might cause this behavior for you so we'll take a look :-)
