Using Tab for switching through ui inputfields is broken in UIToolkit 1.0.0-preview.9

I have login and password inputfields next to each other.
In preview.8 I could get from login to password by the Tab key.

In preview.9 this is broken: When the login is focused and i press Tab an inputfield in a different UIDocument get’s the focus not the password inputfield.

Playing around with the tabindex-parameter does not change that effect.

And further more: If that other inputfield has the focus from the tab, It doesn’t lose it, when i click on the login or password inputfield although the Caret-indicator appears. Aka the other inputfields no longer register input after i klick on them to get them the focus.

Good catch. This is indeed a regression. We’re working on a fix, hopefully it will be part of the next preview.

Thanks for reporting the bug on such short notice!

In the changelog of UI Builder 1.0.0.0preview9 there is an entry “Fixed Tab Index attribute field label in the Attributes Inspector.”

I don’t know what that fixed but it has no effect on the bug :frowning:

This fix was just on the UI Builder side to properly reflect the state of this attribute in the Builder’s Inspector. It does not address any issues in the core UI Toolkit API.
