--- Comment #5 from Chris McKenna <[email protected]> ---
Dcoetzee at en.wp reports that the tab order differs in different browsers, and
that at a certain point in firefox the focus gets stuck and neither tab nor
shift-tab can move it.

The full comment is below:
    "On Chrome Version 28.0.1500.95 m on Windows 7 x64: It starts in the edit
summary field, goes to the "minor edit" link (not the checkbox), then the Save
page button, then the Review your changes button (moving right to left), then
the three links in the small text at the bottom, then the address bar, then the
Search box, then the minor edit checkbox, then the "Interactions" menu drop
down on the left sidebar (???), then the Watch this page checkbox. If I use
SHIFT+TAB it goes to Edit summary link, then jumps straight to the Mediawiki
logo way in the bottom right.

    On Firefox 22.0 and 23.0 on Windows 7 x64: It starts in the edit summary
field, goes to the "minor edit" link (not the checkbox), then the Save page
button, then thereafter neither TAB nor SHIFT+TAB do anything (focus is stuck -
this is a serious problem as it may require reloading the page and losing
edits). SHIFT+TAB is same as in Chrome.

Conventionally, tab order is supposed to go in a logical reading order:
left-to-right, top-to-bottom. My expected order was something like this:

    Starts in edit summary field, goes to minor edit checkbox, then minor edit
link, then Watch this page checkbox, then Review your changes button, then Save
page button, then the three links at the bottom. If I use SHIFT+TAB to tab
backwards, I expect to visit the Edit summary link, then (if possible) the
arrow to collapse/abort the Save, then the Search box."
