           Summary: Tab does not shift focus away from text-input (and text-
                    area) form fields
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: isherman at netzero.net


Upon focusing a text-entry form field (such as the ones I am typing in to
submit this report), pressing [Tab] inserts a tab character rather than
switching focus to the next field.  This happens whether or not the option
"Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage" is selected.  Shift-tab still
works to move backward, and option-tab works to move on to the next tab.

Perhaps this is an intentional change, but it is not the behavior of the
shipping Safari 3, and it is very bothersome to me as a user.  Also, sorry if
this is a dupe --- I was surprised when I couldn't find anything in the search,
as this seems like a pretty glaring problem.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate to a page with a form including some sort of text input.
2. Focus the text input field.
3. Try to tab away from the field.

Expected results:
Tab to the next field of the form.

Actual results:
A tab character is inserted into the field's input.
