Description karlio1 2008-04-19 17:36:51 UTC 
In this tutorial: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/java/javase-intro.html in "Configuring the Compilation Classpath", the
dialogue "Add project" have odd behaviour when using Tab key - it works well until the focus is at "File name:" line. I
would expect that pressing tab again will cause jump to next component, but it wont. I was unable to continue without
keyboard.
Comment 1 Jaromir Uhrik 2008-04-24 21:57:44 UTC 
This behavior is intentional. The user wants to expand the path to the next level by TAB key like in unix terminals.
Since this behavior uses TAB key then CTRL+TAB is used for moving focus to the next component which works fine in this
dialog.
