Thanks! Now the scrolling is right also for me, in the TextFieldsView.

I added the test case to the wiki: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Albireo_Test_Cases .

Yes, what I see is that while pressing tab 6 times (starting with the 4th
text field), no visual feedback for the focused component is present; then,
at the 7th one, the "Text fields" tab header is focused. As if there were
6 invisible but focusable components at the end of the traversal list.
