I agree, but there is. Tabbing is OK. This bug has been there for ages
(20/21/2002), its id is #100701, #114140 is related. I know Josh is
busy, and there is a workaround (tabbing through), but he commented that
it should be fixed before 1.8.0. I'd be happy to try and track down some
of the SX bugs, but I don't want to tread on Josh's toes.

Best regards
