mozilla eats tabs. i don't think this is a platform specific problem. gfx widgets might fix this?

I checked in a what is hopefully a fix for this "text input eating tabs" bug. There are still some minor problems with GFX widgets, but they are unrelated to this one, I think.
paulmac, what do you say, is this fixed enough for you?

Summary: [PP] Tabbing in forms messed up on Linux → Tabbing in forms not working
Tabbing in forms is not working at all on any platforms. I didn't see a specific bug on this, so re-opening this one and removing the [PP].

Sorry, the above comment was to say that it was fixed for native widgets. It is not working for GFX and never has been. :S

yes, it was working in native widgets - if I would have verified this bug in a timely manner then we could have just opened a new one on gfx... oh well - sorry for the confusion
I see this on Windows. It's pretty annoying.

Summary: [GFX]Tabbing in forms not working → [dogfood][GFX]Tabbing in forms not working
marking this bug as dogfood; adding myself to cc list. I'd like to see this bug get used since it makes using 5.0 very awkward when filling in forms. Comments: after tabbing, I see some other elements changing (hiliting) such as checkboxes but I can't get the caret to move from one text field to another (excluding textareas which is another bug).

Putting on PDT- radar. Due to workaround. Release note for dogfood.
Tabbing is working for me in almost all cases for GFX widgets on Windows and Linux at least. Kathy, I'd love to get specific test cases that don't work correctly. :) (Well honestly, I'd love to hear that everything works perfectly but that might just be a bit of wishful thinking) Is the text field example you mentioned as not working a <TEXTAREA> or a text input <INPUT TYPE=TEXT>? Thanks!

This bug is actually an older issue that was fixed - tabbing doesn't work at all with GFX widgets. I'm going to close it out because tabbing works for the most part. The only remaining issues I can see are: 20322 - Fields don't erase their border when they loose focus 8014 - Tabbing into text areas doesn't move the caret. If tabbing totally breaks (doesn't work for any cases) again, please reopen this bug. Thanks!
