This is _so_ trivial, but it is a bug. I was verifying another bug, and I found that you could not tab-order through all the links/controls on the bugzilla report page. I believe it boils down to a real edge case: If you have a TD which is ALIGN=RIGHT, and it contains an <A HREF> that has a multi-line text node, tab-ordering cannot go past this element. I have a simple test case. I'm not even sure who would get this, if it were an important bug. At any rate, punt this one into the future (just reporting it out of completeness).
<Triaging Clayton's list> Very interesting... It seems like an event-processing bug, so I'll start this out in Joki's queue. If it is not there, maybe tables...

Probably mine but trival so I'm futuring. This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Note: Due to the (unfortunately) common use of tables on the web, this is actually quite common.
Yes, I retract my earlier assessment. I have been noticing that tabbing through a page often gets stuck at some point. I know karnaze is looking at a bug that has to do with tables and tabbing that can cause an infinite loop (bug 52333). See also bug 53010, where tabbing dies on hotmail, and also kills typing in the process.
Adding buster to cc list since he now owns bug 52333.
This is a dup of 54406. The line break mentioned in the testcase is invisible because of the table. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 54406 ***

This is a specific case that only happens in a table. If joki wants to dup it, then fine.

Upon managerial request, adding the "testcase" keyword to 84 open layout bugs that do not have the "testcase" keyword and yet have an attachement with the word "test" in the description field. Apologies for any mistakes.

The testcase for this bug and the testcase for the dup no longer break Moz now that the fix for bug 54406 is in :)
Yes, indeed. Thanks davidr8.
