Details

If I am tabbing my way through a page containing a form, then my progress moving
down the page can be blocked by any TEXTAREA field, since in such a field a TAB
is interpreted as a word-processor-style TAB indent.

It's the same behavior observed in bug 51042 (since SHIFT+Tab can back out of
the text area) but with a different cause.
setting bug status to new.  I see this in bugzilla all of the time.
