Hi Tiemo,

I believe the 'autoTab' property (aka 'Tab on Return')
has the side effect of sending the user to the next
field when it can't fit an extra line without
scrolling.
What this means is that in case of a field that only
has room for a single line of text, typing return will
immediately send the focus to the next field (just
like typing a tab would) but in case of a field with
room for 3 lines, the user can press return twice, and
then the thrid time around, it jumps focus to the next
control.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
