(Keywords: access, Whiteboard: [tabbing])

Sometimes when you forward tab through a window or dialog, and then backwards tab, the backwards tabbing doesn't mimic the same path that was followed when forward tabbing. To replicate (dialog): **Go to Edit ---> Preferences ---> click on Navigator at left. **Forward tabbing brings focus correctly through everything. **Backwards tabbing gets stuck in an endless loop between "navigator" and "blank page" (notice the hidden field that gets placed in the middle (focus is on nothing tangible)
