           Summary: pressing Tab in subject entry box inserts a tab
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk


Version:           Git (master) (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

If the Tab key is pressed in the composer's "Subject" entry box, a tab appears
to be inserted in the text.  I'm not sure this is even allowed by RFC822 or
what happens when the message is sent, but for a single line entry field such
as this the expected action would be that the focus moves to the next widget.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a composer window, move the cursor to the "Subject" entry box, then press
the Tab key.


Actual Results:  
A tab character is inserted in the text (the cursor moves right some distance).


Expected Results:  
The focus should just be moved to the next widget in sequence (the message edit
area).


Pressing Enter in the "Subject" entry box does move the focus to the message
edit area, as would be expected.

The "Subject" entry box popup menu has an "Allow Tabulations" option which
appears to be turned on by default.  If this is turned off, Tab moves the focus
as would be expected.  The sensible thing to do for this entry field would be
to force the option off and remove it from the popup menu (or at least disable
it).
