It sounds like you are using heavyweight awt components within your
lightweight JTabbedPane. This will cause the heavyweight  components to
appear as if they are on the other tab.
To disable a tab, I had to subclass JTabbedPane like this

JTabbedPane listPanel = new JTabbedPane(){
    public void setSelectedIndex(int index) {
      try {
        fireVetoableChange("selectedIndex", new
Integer(model.getSelectedIndex()),new Integer(index));
        super.setSelectedIndex(index);
      }
      catch (PropertyVetoException e) {}
    }
  };

Then you add a vetoableChange listener to the JTabbedPane, and veto any
changes to the selection that you do not want by throwing a
PropertyVetoException  from the vetoableChange method.
