tab switch issue with forum

Add topic to favorites
When switching from the “Topic title” input to the post textarea here in the forums I get a balloon tooltip on the upper left corner saying “Skip to toolbar”.

I normally would expect either a focus on the blog selection drop down or the textarea with a blinking cursor to start writing my forum post.

Is there something wrong with the tab navigation or had this been changed recently?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There were some recent changes to the forums, so could you confirm that this is still an on-going glitch? There were edits made just this morning, so it may have been fixed (or we may need to chase it down still).

Cheers!

Well it’s still on-going but I wouldn’t go so far to say it’s a glitch. It’s a minor annoyance. ;) You can test it:
- Open https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1
- Click on the Topic Title input
- Now press the Tab key
Cheers

Yup, that’s annoying!

I’ll talk to the internal team about it.

Cheers!

Just letting you know this was just resolved.

Thank you for your patience!

Thanks (from a relieved heavy keyboard user) Zandy. Saves me one “Tab” key press and therefore speeds up the work in the german forum by at least half a second per post. :)

Cheers!

Those half seconds add up! :-D
