            Bug ID: 350787
           Summary: TAB key on recipient list should move to next field
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: skaumo at gmail.com

Steps to reproduce:

- compose a new mail
- enter the "To" field and start typing
- autocompletion begins, and returns a list of addresses
- select an address with the arrow keys (up/down)
- press TAB

Expected behaviour: cursor to move on to next "To" field
Actual result: next item in the list is selected.

I didn`t notice, and sent an e-mail to the wrong recipient. Could have been
sensitive information.

I`ve never seen the TAB character moving forward or backwards in a dropdown
list, especially not in a form. TAB should only move between fields.
Please fix this behaviour



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- compose a new mail
- enter the "To" field and start typing
- autocompletion begins, and returns a list of addresses
- select an address with the arrow keys (up/down)
- press TAB


Actual Results:  
next item in the list is selected.


Expected Results:  
cursor to move on to next "To" or "Cc" field


I didn`t notice this behaviour, and sent an e-mail to the wrong recipient.
Could have been sensitive information.

I`ve never seen the TAB character moving forward or backwards in a dropdown
list, especially not in a form. TAB should only move between fields, and arrows
or PGUP/PGDN should navigate in the list

Please fix this behaviour
