using [tab] in button mode, I can select active tab using the tab item name.

Is there a way to select which tab is active using an integer (instead of symbol) while [tab] is in button mode?

Looks like a bug. If you enable button mode [set <int>] message stops to work (while [setsymbol <symbol>] still works as expected. (MacOS Mojave, Max 8.0.3)
