I was able to recreate this behaviour and have submitted a ticket to my team here. As soon as I have an update I'll post up on this thread. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Dropdown field tabbing problem

Rolf — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:44:11 GMT

I'm having a problem with dropdown tabbing which may have just occured since the September load, although I'm not sure about that. I only mention this because they were some logic changes in the new load which have caused me considerable grief to find and correct, so this may be one of those as well.

Here's the issue. We have people who like to type and tab between fields, as opposed to mousing and clicking.

If you tab or click-off of a dropdown field where you previously made no change, or made a change by clicking on the arrow and clicking on a dropdown choice, then the next field in the tab order is selected and highlighted, which is what one would suspect.

If however, you type all or part of a valid choice in the field and tab out, Method highlights the next field and then immediatley jumps back to the dropdown field. If you type in an invalid choice and tab out, it stays at the next field.

Besides being an annoyance, this is a real problem for me because I have situations where the next field after a dropdown has actions triggered on a loss of focus, and this problem causes those actions to execute. Without a resolution to this, we cannot type into those dropdown fields.

regards,

Rolf
