%%%OS: Linux Ubuntu 64-bit
Blender version: v2.68.1

Description:

Texture tab appears empty when switching from an object with existent material and texure to one without (for eg. a lamp) and then back to the one with material and texture.

How to reproduce:

Create a box or whatever object, add a material to it and then add a texture to the material, it doesn't matter what texture. Then create a object that doesn't have material propreties, like for example an area light. Now with the cube selected go to the texture tab, there you will see your texture. While still in the texture tab select the area light, now no texture is visible because the light doesn't have any texture and now when you select the cube the texture is not visible, the texture tab is just a blank space, to fix that you have to go to the material tab and then back to the texture tab to see the texture of the material, so it is probably a matter of refreshing and going back and forth between the material tab and the texture tab.
Hope you understood the problem :)

%%%You do not need to go back to material tab, just click on the "material" texture context on top of texture tab is enough. Note also that lamps do have texture data…

I know texture context handling is not always optimal, but it’s very hard to always get it to do what user expects... Will try to see whether there is a nice way to stay/go back to object's tex context automatically, though.%%%
