Strict tab control and tab index

apparently do not work together.

When we use strict tab control, tab indexes are ignored and the cursor movement on tab keys becomes erratic.

Any idea what is going on here?

Correct, strict tab control does not use tab index.

IMHO, no one should ever use tab index. I would be very careful before using strict tab control, too... it can easily create screens that aren't accessible by those with disabilities.

The best solution is to allow the browser to control focus based on it's normal rules. Put your fields in the correct sequence in the "elements" tab to control the tab sequence.
