Tabbing between text fields

I've searched through this forum and others for a solution and nothing I've tried helps, including adding the seamless tabbing parameter of false to my HTML file. I'm using Captivate 4.

I have a series of TEBs in a column, each one set to validate when the TAB key is pressed. That part works but I cannot get the cursor to move to the next TEB, instead it moves to the last field or simply "disappears."

Here is what happens when the slide loads:

Cursor in TEB1

Cursor moves to TEB2

Cursor moves to TEB3

Cursor moves to TEB4

Cursor moves ot TEB5

User has to click in TEB1

User enters text and presses TAB key, cursor moves to TEB5

User clicks in TEB2

User enters text and presses TAB key, cursor "disappears"

User clicks in TEB3

User enters text and presses TAB key, cursor "disappears"

User clicks in TEB4

User enters text and presses TAB  key, cursor "disappears"

User clicks in TEB5

User enters text and presses ENTER  key, next slide loaded

What I need it to do when the slide loads:

Cursor in TEB1

User enters text and presses TAB, cursor moves to TEB2

User enters text and presses TAB, cursor moves to TEB3

User enters text and presses TAB, cursor moves to TEB4

User enters text and presses TAB, cursor moves to TEB5

User enters text and presses ENTER, next slide loaded

I've tried staggering the TEBs in the timeline, pausing until each field is verified, using No Action instead of Continue, and messing around with the fields in various ways, all to no avail.

Any recommendations? I really do not want to have to add more slides just because tabbing won't work correctly.

I'm having the exact same issue, can't tab between fields or set the tab order?  i think the tab order is set by the hiarchy of the layers, but I can't tell...

Hi there

I tested this a couple of months or longer back. My testing seemed to reveal the following behavior.

If all TEBs are in a vertical column, tab moved from top to bottom.

If perhaps you had two vertical columns, tab moved from top to bottom, but left to right as if you were reading a page in English.
