68703 - back-tabbing skips elements with tabindex set

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 67404

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[jsp]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010208
BuildID:    2001020804

Mozilla skips over elements with tabindex set when back-tabbing. You can tab
(forward) through such elements.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Load the attachment. Tab forward through the anchors to the last one, then
shift-tab to navigate backwards.

Actual Results:  You can navigate forward and backward between the last two
anchors, which do not have tabindex set, but you can only go forward through the
first two, which have tabindex set. Shift-tab skips over them.

Expected Results:  You should be able to access all four anchors by tabbing or
back-tabbing.

Same on Macintosh build 2001020208.

I concur. I'm not sure how I missed it; I searched for "tab" in the summary, I
really did!
