Description Gunter Ohrner 2016-10-12 09:10:03 UTC

I have contacts with several phone numbers and email addresses.

The tab key order in the edit dialog can only be called erratic...

* Name, button
* nickname
* first phone textbox, dropdown, button, button

is still okay - but afterwards:

* web text box, dropdown, button, button
* messaging text box, dropdown, button, button
* first email textbox, dropdown, button, button
* tags textbox, button

and *then*:

* second, third, ... (all remaining) phone text boxes with their dropdowns and buttons,
* and afterwards the second, third and all remaining phone number text boxes with their dropdowns and buttons.


I'd expect the tab order to at least somewhat resemble the order of the widgets in the GUI, eg. to be able to tab through all phone number widgets *before* jumping to the messaging widgets, and also to be able to tab through all email edit widgets before jumping to the tags widget...

The current tab order does not make any sense, neither from a visual nor from a logical / conceptual point of view.

Reproducible: Always

Due to too many bugs in kMail some years ago I stopped using it and switched to
Thunderbird. I was not happy to have to make that choice, but since then at
least I didn't lose access to my mails any more because some maintenance update
does not work at all - as it happened more than once with kMail unfortunately.
:-(

So I cannot re-test.

Ok, set up kAddressbook again.

It still occurs in KAddressBook Version 5.21.2 (22.08.2)
