Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041102 Camino/0.8.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041102 Camino/0.8.2

Something that I think should be implemented in the future is a more uniform use
of the Tab key in Camino.  When I am in the browser window, with a form field
selected, I can press tab to get to the next field, and so forth.  However, the
user can never tab back to the address bar to enter in a new address, or tab
over to the google bar to search.  From a usabilty standpoint, I think it would
be better (and more consistent with other browsers) to make the tab key cycle
through these areas as well as the forms.

I am using one of the .8.2 RC builds.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. click anywhere in browser window
2. press tab key
3. 

Actual Results:  
Focus changed to fields, but never highlighted the address bar or the Google
search bar.

Expected Results:  
When at the end of the page, the focus should shift to the address bar, the
google bar, then back to the first form on the page.
we have bugs for this already, i'm positive.
