Alex, I'd like to revisit this discussion. I'm happy to see this is arguably a config-setting only. Then this is indeed not a bug.
Given that the default for the config option in question results in unintuitive behaviour I would argue that LO can do better. I would say that tab order should work even if "Automatic focus in form" or "automatic control focus" are not set for any of the tab fields. If nothing is specified, enter the field with the lowest activation sequence number, don't sit around twiddling thumbs, so to speak. I believe this is indeed a bug as most users would assume if they specified a tab sequence it would work without having to mouse and position the cursor first. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478258 Title: BASE: tab order in form initially inactive Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am using Libreoffice 4.2.8.2 in trusty. This ticket concerns the database application. When designing a form and specifying a tab order (the wizard does this) one still has to first position the cursor in a field to take advantage of tabbing to the next field. Opening a form for data entry and hitting tab does not do anything.
