Bug Description

I am not sure about other dialogs, but the Metaserver login dialog does not allow to tab from the username field to the password field.

Expected behavior:
Enter username, press Tab => Cursor jumps to password field

Actual behavior:
Enter username, press Tab => a control symbol gets added into the username field

It is also impossible to leave the WL window itself with ALT+Tab
--> the focus jumps to the next window but WL is in foreground every time

Tested this with Win 7 and Ubuntu 14.04.

Here on bzr 8046 and arch linux the TAB key does not work in any forms. Tested the Form on Metaserver login as also the Map options menu. A control sign does not appear, hitting the tab key just do nothing.

Since tabbing through forms isn't implemented at all, this is expected behaviour.

Since it seems it was implemented earlier this bug isn't fixed anymore and looks to me like a regression. It would be nice to have tabbing back :-)

I don't know what to do with the milestone mark ...

Oh, I didn't notice that this is a regression - should be fixed then and is probably not that hard to do, looking at the diff of the original merge,

Well, not as easy as it looks... I'll keep at it, but if we fix the other bugs first, IMO we can live with this bug for the release.
