Whenever I have to authenticate with a web site or a proxy, the dialog which
appears does not allow me to [TAB] to the next field.
Note, this was in the nightly build for Win9x on November 8, 1999
On 1999111520 M11 on RH 6.0 Linux:  The first tab in ByPassword dialog does
nothing, a second tab gets me to the password field.

I see the problem on Linux as described immediately above.  Changing to XP
Toolkit/Widgets and reassigning.

Bug reproduced on 2000021608 build, MacOS 8.6. Reopening.

To clarify, the tab order is currently:
* User Name
* Save these values
* no effect (!)
* no effect (again!)
* Password.

The tab order should be:
* User name
* Password
* Remember these values
* the left button in the ok/cancel overlay
* the right button in the ok/cancel overlay.

It works.  You're just not getting visual feedback.  That should be a different 
bug filed against hangas or ben.

No, it doesn't work. I enter my user name, I press tab, I don't get to the 
password field. I get to the `Save these values' checkbox instead.

Sure, I don't get visual feedback, but I can hit the space bar and view the truth 
thereof: the `Save these values' checkbox gets checked -- instead of a space 
getting inserted in the Password field, which is what should happen.

Reopening. (Sorry, should have done that with my last comment.)

This isn't a problem with tabbing between widgets /per se/; it's a problem with 
the tab order of this particular dialog. (So this probably should be XPApps, not 
XP Toolkit/Widgets.) The lack of visual feedback is incidental, but is probably 
what caused mission@home.com to think that tabbing wasn't working at all.

Yeah, I think tabbing works... this dialog must have used a weird box ordering 
or something... Ben?

I was confused as this bug was marked m13 but we are on m14?

I think Saari is taking care of this problem in bug 30221. I'm not going to mark
a PDT bug as dup, somebody else should do this instead.
Closing this as a dup of 30221.
