Created attachment 180569 [details] File to test. 1. Created a line in a new Writer document. 2. Copy, paste, and move to the right with arrow key. 3. Select one line. 4. Press tab key. 5. Move the first line to the right, 6. Press tab key. 7. Select the (now) middle line. 8. Press tab key. Actual behavior: After 4: Selection jumps from whichever shape to the original (leftmost) line. After 6: Selection jumps and stay in the leftmost line. After 8: Selection will not jump. Expected behavior: Selection jumps from one shape to other, in insert order. Additional info: If do you create three lines (without copy&paste), tab key will select all of them by turn.

Created attachment 180570 [details] Second test file. If in step 2, do you move the lines with mouse, tab key jumps to some lines but skip some others. Tested with four and six lines.
I confirm it with Version: 7.3.4.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 728fec16bd5f605073805c3c9e7c4212a0120dc5 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded Additional information It works as expected if you move lines with touchpad and not with arrow key
(In reply to Dieter from comment #2) Thanks to add more info. > It works as expected if you move lines with touchpad and not with arrow key If you equate mouse with touchpad, not every time. There is one (or more) unknow variable (line height, first line position relative to text margin, zoom level, etc.) that I can not detect. New steps: 1. Create a vertical line (holding Shift) 2. Copy, paste 3. Move to the right with pointer (touchpad or mouse) (also can be with right arrow key) 4. Press Tab key Actual result: Selection remains in left line. Adding a new test file with only two lines following the steps above.

Snap to Grid is off. Will test later on Linux.
Reproducible with: Version: 7.2.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 20(Build:2) CPU threads: 1; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: es-MX (es_ES.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Created attachment 180836 [details] File with two horizontal lines If the inserted shapes are horizontal lines, and both are at the same vertical level (one beside the other), selection jumps and stay in the leftmost line. If one line vertical position is changed (with pointer or arrow keys) selection jumps between both. Maybe this can explain why with touchpad/mouse (if snap to grid is disabled) allow to jump between all shapes. Testing with the second test file: if vertical position is changed, selection with tab works well. If there are two lines aligned, selection do not works well. Changing zoom level (to refresh screen) do not help.
