[Libreoffice-4 <1478258@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alex, I'd like to revisit this discussion.  I'm happy to see this is
arguably a config-setting only.  Then this is indeed not a bug.

Given that the default for the config option in question results in
unintuitive behaviour I would argue that LO can do better.  I would say
that tab order should work even if "Automatic focus in form" or
"automatic control focus" are not set for any of the tab fields.  If
nothing is specified, enter the field with the lowest activation
sequence number, don't sit around twiddling thumbs, so to speak.

I believe this is indeed a bug as most users would assume if they
specified a tab sequence it would work without having to mouse and
position the cursor first.

Title:
  BASE: tab order in form initially inactive

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am using Libreoffice 4.2.8.2 in trusty.

  This ticket concerns the database application.  When designing a form
  and specifying a tab order (the wizard does this) one still has to
  first position the cursor in a field to take advantage of tabbing to
  the next field.  Opening a form for data entry and hitting tab does
  not do anything.
