--- Comment #2 from Michael Mohr <[email protected]> ---
Libre 0ffice is being  offered as an alternative to Microsoft Office. As such,
the expectation is that handling of table cells should approximate what has
been available since some of the earliest versions of the Micrcosoft product.
I would expect movement through the cells, with selection of the individual
cell contents upon each press of the Tab key. Embedded tabs (tabs internal to
the cell contents) are added in the Microsoft product using Ctrl-Tab. This is
not the observed behaviour.
 I received a document written in the Microsoft product with a set of tables
containing columns for grading and commentary of individual results in the
columns to the left. One of the columns contains key points of the test in a
bulleted list before the test results. 
As a decades-long user of the Microsoft product, l expected to be able to use
the tab key to navigate to the next set of grading and commentary columns. The
tab action did not select the cell contents but moved between cells until the
cell containing the bulleted list. The next tab key action added a tab within
the cell. This is the wrong action.

Comment # 1 on bug 80631rom Cor Nouws
Hi Michael,

Thanks for the report.
What you experience is the interference of two specific behaviours: tabbing in
tables, and tabbing at the start of a line where bulleting/numbering is
applied.

IMO it's not OK to change the behaviour so that tabbing doesn't work any more
with bulleting/numbering. For moving to another cell there are other
possibilities with the key board. 

Regards,
Cor
