		"description": "In the following code the widget providing the tab gets no reference to the TabGroup.

Solution\r\nThis could easily be solved by having Alloy pass the TabGroup via the {{__parentSymbol}} property also found in other places where a widget is used. IMHO this property should/could *always* be passed to widgets/required controllers.\r\n\r\nh1. Notes\r\n* Any workaround requiring code in the index-controller is not honoring the fact that widgets should be self-sustained.\r\n* Having said the above, even assign the TabGroup to {{Alloy.Globals.}} won't work since the tabs will be created before the controller code is executed.",
