no worries, see attached!

in case it helps I’m on WordPress v4.4.1.

The Field Group is associated with a very simple custom widget that is essentially just an empty shell for ACF, here’s the code:

<?php

	class SECallToActionWidget extends WP_Widget {

		public function __construct() {
			parent::__construct(
		 		'se_call_to_action_widget', 
				'Call to Action', 
				array( 'description' => 'Displays a call to action tile', ) 
			);
		}
	

		public function widget( $args, $instance ) {

			extract($args);
			// Loads theme file to handle ACF fields on front end
            include (THEME_FILE_PATH.'widget-call-to-action.php');			
				
		}
	
		public function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
		    $instance = $old_instance;		    
		    return $instance;
		}
	
	
	}

One other thing i notice is that if i do anything to the form that triggers js (such as selecting a “Link Type” radio button, which causes other fields to hide/show) the tabs then snap into action.

So i’m guessing the JS that sets up the tabs is firing too early, or not at all, when the user expands a widget option box.
