   Yes we do.   
   Without code to set the other frames invisible, you can use the tab key   
   to switch focus to controls on the other tabs.   
   This won't have a huge affect to most people except when they use the   
   keyboard to navigate and the cursor disappears for ages while it goes   
   through all the controls, "visible" or not.   
      
   (I did double check to make sure it still applies to the SSTab control)
