Seen with Java CAPS 6 with NB 6.1 patches applied and IEP nbms for Build080720 (july 20) installed. Once I get into the WHERE text area, I can't tab backwards (even within the text area).
In a text area, pressing tab would allow you to tab to available text. Use CTL-TAB if you want to get out of text area. This is standard behaviour of text area. If you want to backward tab within text area use arrow key (<-). I checked some standard property sheet text area which have the same behaviour in NB. I am marking it won't fix.
Verified fixed on Windows Vista with sierra build sierra_778_20080926_0603_dev.zip. Not fixed, but the user can get back to "earlier" control by tabbing forward through all the other controls, so not really an a11y issue.
