@Rolf: I suspect that this might be inherited from OOo3, but to be
honest I can't remember whether it was already automatic by default or
not in those versions.

However, my own personal take on it is that, yes, the UI should really
jump to the first control in the form defined by the tab position. As
I'm not a developer, I don't know whether this has always been so, or
even how much effort it would require to fix (or even if any Base
developers see it as worthwhile fixing).


Pending comments from any devs, I'll set this to enhancement.

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.
