Tab Page Navigation issues

Using Tutorial, Section 4, Tabbed Pages.

1.  BUG? --Entering data on Tab pages loses focus when switching to tabs.  Can find no key to go to next Tab Page, Page Up/Down does not work.  Even clicking on The Tab does not provide focus, you also need to click on a field on the Tab form.

2.  BUG? --If I click on Tab name, and then press Tab key, I move to labels vs. data entry boxes.  Cannot enter data without using mouse to click in data field.

1. Entering a tab page from a layout element before it - gives the page focus first, then an element on the page focus on the next down arrow or tab key. When the tab page has focus using the left and right arrow keys flips between pages. There is a small bug in that "Shift-Tab" does not work the same way. If you click on the tab page (but not in a field) the page has focus and right/left arrow will move between pages. Tab will take you to the first layout on the page.

2. If you have focus on the tab page, hitting the tab or down key will focus the first layout on the page.

I found that if you save your work afterwards all tabs will come into focus.

Actually, in Designer, all you need to do is click on a blank area of the Form. As soon as you unselect the tabs and their contained elements, they will all redraw themselves in the correct order.

These again are issues for me because of needs to have keyboard navigation available.  As you point out here, focus is needed.  To get focus, have to leave keyboard, grab mouse, navigate, click, drop mouse, go back to keyboard.  For Macro utilities that use keystrokes to navigate, that cannot be done.  But I will probably be able to use Relative Mouse Movements to set the focus.  But keyboard navigation for macros aside, this is still awkward for the normal typist to have to move between keyboard and mouse.

In Sesame runtime the mouse is *not* needed to get focus on a tab page, the tab beneath it, or any element on the page. Keyboard alone is sufficient. As I stated earlier:

Please note - I did not say you need to focus with the mouse. You can enter and focus a tab page using the Tab Key, the Enter Key, and the Down Arrow Key.
