Using Vista and IE 7. Have applied all updates for both. This behaviour only
on this laptop. Other computers do not exhibit the same behaviour. Are there
any settings that I need to look for ?

Hi,

You don't tell us what exactly happens. What do you mean by "this behavior"?

Kind regards

Hans

Expected behaviour is - on pressing the TAB key, cursor/focus moves to next
field on the page that may be take input - either a fill-in field or an
action button like "OK", "Next".
What is happening is that on pressing the TAB key, the focus/cursor justed
vanishes, and I have to use the mouse pointer to get it back to where I want
to input something, or press the action button.

Does that give you any clues in helping me fix this thing?
Thx

This usually means that the cursor has jumped to something else that's
clickable, a button or link or something. Press tab again.

Post a detailed example of the symptom. These days it can usually be
attributed to web page construction. As Frank indicated use of Tab depends
on where keyboard focus is when you start pressing it but as well it depends
on what the context of the item that you are hoping to tab to has (e.g. as seen
by View Source of the page you are using). Hence you may find that even
when you start from a (doubleclicked) word near a link you can't reach the link
because the text you are starting from doesn't have the same context.


BTW please always repeat the details from your Subject text in the text of
your problem description. Some people use search tools which only find
things in either message area. It also makes your description harder to read.
E.g. notice that there is not one mention of the word tab in your problem
description text. That word appears only in your post's Subject. ; }

No,
The cursor /focus is lost. This is not on just one page/form ; I wish the
answer were as simple as that!
