Another silent annoyance I've had for a while now is the following:

On action=edit the next tab after the editform is the editsummary. For that
reason I, and probably many power/keyboard users, go like this: Edit > [tab] >
work with wikitext > [tab] > type summary and/or hit Return to submit/save form
(this requires the extra tab since Returns inserts a newline inside the editor
instead of submitting the form, as it should).

However on action=edit's where there is no editsummary or on section=new (where
the "editsummary" is actually the Title/Heading, located on top of the editform
rather than below it).. in those situatinos tabbing out of the editform brings
you to the search form (rather than the summary, or some other place where
hitting Return submits the edit form).
Pressing Returnn at that point submits the search form and shows Special:Search
(grrrr). This might one's your edit (granted, it would mostly happen to
experienced users, who would know to press the browser's Back button and submit
again (the right way this time).

.. regardless, it's annoying and I end up on a search results page by the above
means quite often actually...
It's not entirely trivial to fix though, because it's not a high tabindex on
the search form causing the problem, as much as it being the lowest tabindex on
the page and editform the highest tabindex, so... after the editform (highest)
the next (in most browsers that I know) tab goes back to the lowest tabindex.

Not sure if it requires a new bug or if it's a bug at all, but wanted to have
mentioned it!
