TAB after autocomplete should go to Subject Line (not end of selected address).

When I'm done selecting an address, I either want to add more addresses, in
which case I would press ENTER; or I want to go to the next step in the process
of creating a mail, namely enter a subject. Therefore, pressing TAB should take
the user to the subject line.
Whiteboard: if 0.9.4 is so important, then this high visibility and annoying usability bug should be fixed before then.
This is a regression and I am confirming this on Windows 98 on build 2001091003.

Peter, you have a hefty Whiteboard entry which I think better belongs in your
bug description to emphasize the importance of this bug.

OK, done...

From Whiteboard: 
If Milestone 0.9.4 is so important, then this high visibility and annoying
usability bug should be fixed before then.

Is this bug somehow different from bug 79006?

different from bug 79006 because that bug is about being able to TAB out of the
autocomplete list at all. This bug is about WHERE the curser goes after tabbing.


PS. The other bug is actually fixed, but nobody has noticed yet ;)
Depends on: 79006
