470478 - Accessibility: Pressing tab-key does not move the cursor out of the address-bar

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Karl Kästner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ru; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008103100 SUSE/3.0.4-3.1 Firefox/3.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ru; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008103100 SUSE/3.0.4-3.1 Firefox/3.0.4

When the tab-key is pressed the cursor should move to the next field or link, thus enabling the user to use the keyboard cursor to scroll. However, this does not work any more when the cursor resides in the address-bar. This is especially annoying for users primarily using the keyboard for navigation.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place your cursor into the address-field.
2. Press tab
Actual Results:  
Cursor sticks to address-field.

Expected Results:  
Cursor should move into next field or page.
