User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

In JD Edwards users use the tab key to move from one field to the next. This is a grid of editable fields. When the end of the line is reached the next location seems to be up in the header.

Actual results:

When the end of the line is reached the next location seems to be up in the header.

Expected results:

When the end of the line is reached the cursor used to go to the first field in the next line.

I could not reproduce this issue on a regular form (unfortunately I'm not a JD Edwards user) using the latest Nightly 72.0a1 or Firefox 68.2.0 esr. I'm going to assign this to the "Firefox: Keyboard Navigation" component and hopefully someone with more knowledge in this area will take a look over.

I just tested with the Nightly 72.0a1 and the same problem occurs.

Is there any chance to find a minimal test script to reproduce this? Thanks.

Reporter, is this bug a regression? Did Firefox use to behave differently?

And as Edgar mentioned, a minimal test case would be really useful here.

We use the ESR line. The problem was introduced with version 68 ESR. Prior to that the tab would wrap to the first field in the next line.

I have asked our internal developer if he sees it on anything that he has developed and he has not. I'm not a developer so it's hard for me to know how the JDE table is different from what he does. Otherwise, I'd ask him to put something together for me as a test case. I'll ask if he can look at the JDE source and see if he can duplicate some of it for a test.
