Actual Results:  
Cursor gets stuck.

Reassigning.
Comment 4 Jarosław Staniek 2010-10-20 12:19:56 UTC
Thanks.
This is known bug, not yet fixed, in all Kexi versions. Changing to general bug, not just on Windows.

This happens because when navigating through the properties in the property editor, the value field is activated too.
So if the user comes to a field that is "arrow keys" sensitive such as geometry settings (ie pressing up/down increases/decreases value) the value field is focused and pressing up/down further changes the value instead of moving further up/down in the property list.
Some would characterize this as a feature and frankly I can't decide either.

A temporary workaround is to hit ESC key after each time when moving up/down the properties in the property editor, that moves focus to the property name again.
