Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Andy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080410 SUSE/2.0.0.14-0.1 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080410 SUSE/2.0.0.14-0.1 Firefox/2.0.0.14

When using (for example) tinymce, if I try to promote a list item (could be blank, could have text) to the next level (creating a nested list) by using the tab key,  the focus leaves the editable region and goes to the next keyboard-accessible control (e.g. link, input, etc) in the page containing the editable region.

In FF2 and earlier, one could create a nested list by pressing the tab key.  Shift+tab would demote a nested list by one level.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go the tinymce full demo page: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/example_full.php?example=true
2. type some text, and press the control to convert to a list (ordered, unordered)
3. hit the return/enter key to begin a new list item
4. press the tab key.  

Actual Results:  
The focus left the editable region and went to the first link below the region (which is the "ol" in Path: ol >> li)

Expected Results:  
The new list item should become the first item of a new nested list.
