84454 - Shift-tab in lists while in compose email goes back to Subject

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 87321

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Nick Glencross]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3 i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010605
BuildID:    2001060521

Shift-tab in nested lists correctly reverses the effect of tab, but then moves
the caret back into the Subject field. Is not a problem in Composer.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose an email.
2.Create a nested list
3.Do a shift-tab and the current list item will be demoted, but the caret will
now reside in the Subject field

Actual Results:  Caret resides in Subject field

Expected Results:  While in Lists, perhaps shift-tab shouldn't move between
fields (to be consistent with Composer and other 3rd party packages). This
reduces the surprise factor.

A workaround is to do another tab will take you back to the correct position in
the email. There's quite a significant pause when (shift-)tabbing.

What is a nested list? An HTML thing?
