Hi, all, Presentation's navigator dialog has supported to drag & drop the object to modify the TAB order. Also the "Arrange" action in context menu can also modify the TAB order. If user use both "Arrange" and "Navigator" to modify the TAB order, the TAB order will be confused.
I also found different behavior on order in 3 editors: In Word, if I arrange the drawing object to back/front, the order in navigator dialog won't be changed, also the TAB order won't be changed. In Presentation, if I arrange the drawing object to back/front, the order in navigator dialog won't be changed, but the TAB order will be changed. In Spreadsheet, if I arrange the drawing object to back/front, both the order in navigator dialog and TAB order will be changed. My question is: What is the correct object order in navigator dialog? The TAB order or z-index order? In my opinion, the navigator dialog should only change the TAB order, the Arrange should only change the Z-Index order and it should NOT change TAB order. Also I discussed this offline with Malte and he suggested me to post this topic here. We all think that the Arrange operation should only impact Z-Order, and the TAB order can only be impacted by Navigator dialog. Currently, I can't set correct TAB order and Z-Order separately unless I insert the objects initially with the desired Z-Order and won't use Arrange operation. Malte also provided some reference, for your reference. We thought it would make sense to have a logical tab order which doesn't necessarily match the z-Order.
