    The Tab defines different functionality. If you press "apply" with the
    text folding tab open it changes the Folding of your text. If you press
    apply with "list properties" open it changes your list. Putting the text
    folding on the same page would make what "apply" does ambiguous and
    actually as a the programmer I wouldn;t know what was meant to happen
    either.

    In addition the List controls tab is already very cluttered.

    BTW is the concensus to use option menus rather than radio buttons?
