Issue tabbing out of FCKeditor field to Radio Button group or Submit button

[kkhager]

Using FCKeditor version 2.4.3 with 2215.4.patch.

I have a jsp with 2 fields and a Submit button. The first field is a text field that is using the FCKeditor. The second field is a group of Radio buttons. When tabbing from the text field to the Radio button, a dotted line is placed around the selected Radio button to appear as if it has focus but the cursor remains in the FCKeditor field. I also see a similar problem when I place the Save button directly after the FCKeditor field where a dotted line is shown around the button but the cursor remains in the text fied.

If I add another text field following the FCKeditor field the tabbing works as expected. If I remove the reference to the FCKeditor from the page, I can tab from field to field as expected.

I am running on WindowsXP and have duplicated this problem in IE6 and IE7. I also downloaded the latest nightly build and I still see the problem.

Confirmed in IE. Steps to reproduce:

-Copy attached file to samples directory.

-Open in IE

-Click on the editor

-Press TAB

Result: The editor still has focus

To get to Radio element press TAB one more time.

Replying to arczi: Your comments seem to be a work around but it is not truly a work around because the second TAB causes the focus to skip the Radio Element and move to the next element on the page.

Confirmed in IE. Steps to reproduce:

-Copy attached file to samples directory.

-Open in IE

-Click on the editor

-Press TAB

Result: The editor still has focus

To get to Radio element press TAB one more time.

We've just upgraded from v2.6.1 and to v2.6.4 have also noticed this problem. Unfortunately tabbing through fields is important to us and it's looking like we will have to stick with v2.6.1 for the time being.

Most of our forms have a select box immediately after each FCK editor instance, these display the reported problem. We have other forms with a hyperlink after the FCK editor; they also have the problem but show an interesting side-effect. If you shift-tab in reverse order to the hyperlink then thump the return key it follows the link; if you tab from FCK editor to the link then it looks like the link has focus but pressing return starts a new line in FCK editor, it does not follow the link.

I can confirm that if FCK is followed by either a TEXTAREA or INPUT TYPE="TEXT" then tabbing behaves normally.

My forms do not replicate Arczi findings. Pressing tab repeatedly simply passes the displayed focus indication forward and backward between FCK editor and the select/hyperlink. I wonder if this is to do with what type of element follows the select??? My current page has an FCK editor followed by a hyperlink (A) and then an INPUT TYPE="IMAGE". It may or may not be relevant, but my DOCTYPE is XHTML and I have "FCKConfig.Plugins.Add( 'autogrow' ) ;" added to my editor configuration.

What is the status of this bug? I also have users complaining about this bug and would love to see it get fixed.
