Description Robert Großkopf 2023-05-19 08:37:05 UTC
Created attachment 187391 [details]
Open the attached database. Open the forms as described.

Open the attached database file.
Macros aren't needed for this.
Open the form "Klasse_tab_order_0".
Cursor might appear in first field ID. If not: Set cursor in this field.
Press Alt+t → cursor moves to "Teil". 
Press Alt+k → cursor moves to "Klasse".
This is how it should work.

But: For all controls had been set tab order = 0. So there is no special tab order available, also no automatic tab to the subform.

Close the form, open the form "Klasse_tab_autosort".
Try to move cursor by Alt+t, Alt+k …
Cursor will be moved to first field of the subform instead of moving to the expected fields.

OK, might be something with the subform.
So open "Klasse_tab_autosort_no_subform".
Try to move cursor by Alt+t, Alt+k …
Cursor won't jump, will always stay in the same control.

You have to set tab order to 0 for using key for setting focus to a special control.

Expected behavior: Tab order should work as defined, jumping by Al+… should work also.

Tested all with LO 7.4.6.2, but don't know if it ever works well.

Dear Robert Großkopf,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
