Comment(by mitchb):
Actually, it's tabbing "just fine." What really happens is that
the first time you hit tab, it moves to the Session button, the
next time you do it, it goes to the Action button, and then when
you hit it again, it *does* advance to the Password field.
Similarly, if you hit tab at that point, you go to Session, then
Action, and finally you attempt to log in.
So, it seems like the problem is more in the ordering of the
fields for selection than the behavior. However, I sort of think
it's very nonintuitive for Tab to
o Take you to a field that wasn't even visible on your screen
to start with
o Submit anything as if you'd hit Enter (yes, if you type your
username, 3xTab, password, 3xTab, you're logged in without
ever having hit Enter or clicked anywhere)
