What you describe should only happen if you forget to set the tabSet to
immediate also. Here is a general guideline
TabSet is immediate, tabs are not, tabs 1 and 2 have required fields
validation error is thrown and picked up by message group. user can
switch tabs.
Tabs are immediate, tabset is not, 1 & 2 have required fields.
user is unable to switch between tabs on a tabSet. This scenario is not
supported.
Tabset and tabs are immediate, tabs 1 and 2 have required fields
Validation error is not thrown or picked up by message group. user can
switch tabs
Neither Tab, nor tabSet is immediate, tab 1 and 2 have required fields
Validation error is thrown, and user can not swich tabs until resolved.
