Can't tab out of text entry box in 3.2

Featured Replies

Posted

In 3.1.4, if you were typing in a reply box, and you hit tab, the selection would move to the "post reply" button.

If you do that in 3.2, the selection doesn't go anywhere. In other words, you have to reach for the mouse / click to post a reply (or start a new topic). (Safari 5.0.5)

Also in 3.2, if the selection is in the Topic Title field, you have to hit tab twice to move the selection into the text entry field (even though the cursor appears in the text entry box after hitting tab the first time - text doesn't appear unless you hit tab again before typing).

I can indeed reproduce what you say but It happens only in safari and chrome (which are both based on webkit), all the other browsers are working fine.

Post a bug report and we will try looking into it but no promises, it might be something in webkit itself which can't be fixed by us.

Reported it, thanks.

Is there somewhere I can keep up with this issue? I'd really love to fix it, I'm so used to tab > post, and it's frustrating me that I can't.

Odd that I never noticed that until this topic.

Now it's going to bug me. :lol:

Tabbing works with Chrome in the new vB which uses the same editor.

Follow this topic and follow the report in the tracker.

However after saying that, I can't find it in the tracker, but that's nothing new... the search function in there isn't too hot.

Interesting.

In the bugs topic, in June, 2011, Matt said that this should be fixed in v.3.6.

I can't run Chrome on my main work machine. So until 3.6, I'd have to buy a new computer to be able to tab in and out of a text box.

Any idea on the release date for 3.6?

3.6? :ermm:

Err... we're not even on 3.4 yet.
