Summary	0003460: Custom Fields tab sequence
Description	This issue was reported by rabbe.kurten@rkrealtidssystem.com on online manual custom fields page: "I can get the custom fields ordered between themselves OK, but how do I get them into the ordinary tab sequence. When I press the tab key within a custom field I jump somewhere into one of the ordinary fields depending on where I was before going into the custom field. Is there a solution to this problem?

vboctor 2003-12-18 22:23 manager ~0004833	I have tested this on IE 6 and Mantis 0.18.0rc1 and it seems to be fine. Can you tell me more about the environment?

cbh 2004-02-25 10:07 reporter ~0005112	It works fine when editing an existing bug, but when entering a new bug the fields are quite hard to get to with the tab key as they are at a very weird place in the tab order. Mozilla 1.6, Windows XP, Mantis 0.18.1

pnaaijkens 2004-02-28 17:22 reporter ~0005132	I think the patch solves the problem. The 'tabindex' attribute is added to the custom fields.

grangeway 2004-06-29 17:09 reporter ~0005822	Any objections or reasons why this shouldn't be applied?. If not, i'll look at updating this patch and getting it applied to CVS version

vboctor 2004-06-30 06:42 manager ~0005830	I had a quick look at the patch. I don't object on the concept, but I think the implementation has a problem in terms of maintainability: echo $custom_fields_count+8 I would rather avoid absolute number since they will cause problems when an extra field is added. I suggest having a running counter "tabindex" which gets incremented and used all the time. echo ++$tabindex; There maybe a reason why this is not done, if that's the case lets see if we can find other way to avoid maintenance problems in the future.

pnaaijkens 2004-06-30 06:51 reporter ~0005831	I can't remember why exactly I've written it this way. Probably because a more general approach like vboctor proposed, demands a lot of rewriting of the forms. But it is indeed not very maintanable right now...

JeromyK 2014-02-12 04:32 reporter ~0039382	Hello everybody I think the "Tabbing-Problem" is still there in 1.12.15. Here are the steps to reproduce: 1) Add a custom field (I use "Transportauftrag") 2) Go to ./bug_report_page.php -> Tabbing works fine 3) Add a new bug 4) Enter the bug an set it to status "done" 5) You will receive the ./bug_change_status_page.php 6) The custom-field is not in tab-order, it will be "overjumped"
