Moving with TAB doesn't work

[againsttcpa]

Hello,

I want to move from one edit to another with the TAB-Key, but it doesn't work.
I tried it with the windows version of lazarus. I don't have tested it under linux.
Is this a bug in lazarus? How can i use the TAB keys?

This is a bug in lazarus: see bug 255 in the bugtracker.

I tryed 0.98; on Linux tab works (even in a windows .exe running with wine), in windows tab seem to work only between buttons

I have a similar application using a number of edit boxes. Moving from one box to the other using TAB and shift TAB works fine on both Windows XP and linux (FC2 with KDE) using lazarus 0.98. I suggest you check your tab order. Earlier versions of lazarus did not reset the Tab order even if you changed it.

I have a related problem, that is I check the values entered into the edit box using the OnExit event. If the user has made a mistake I return them to the edit box using its SetFocus method. On windows this works properly, but on Linux the TAB or mouse click still takes me to the next edit box.

I suspect this due to the way GTK handles events. Has anyone else experienced this?
