Description Eric Jain CLA 2014-04-28 23:31:53 EDT 
When the "Create New Tag" dialog opens, the focus is on the "Tag name" field. After hitting tab, I expect the focus to move to the "Tag message" field, but instead no UI element appears to have focus.

It seems all dialogs that uses the SpellcheckableMessageArea have the same problem, i.e. the Create Tag dialog, Commit dialog and the staging view.

I guess it's related to the ability to input TABs into the text. Do we need it?
Comment 2 Eric Jain CLA 2014-04-29 17:21:05 EDT 
Git doesn't allow TAB (or other control) characters in tag names. However, the "tag name" field supports autocompletion (Ctrl+TAB).
Comment 3 Robin Rosenberg CLA 2014-04-29 17:47:06 EDT 
TAB works fine from the tag name field. The problem is that the next field is the SpellcheckableMessageArea, which eats the TAB.
