Inconsistent login form tabbing

Description

When viewing the login screen at wp-login.php there is an inconsistent experience tabbing through the form.

  • In Safari, hitting tab while your cursor is in the password field does not advance to the next field, Remember me, as expected. Instead it tabs to the address bar.
  • In FireFox, tabbing gets you all the way to the Log In button before bringing you to the address bar.
  • In Chrome it successfully tabs through each element on the page, including the Log In button, and two links below the form for back and forgotten password requests.

Do you have tab key navigation enabled in Safari? Safari does not automatically have the tab key configured to access all fields; by default it only tabs to selected fields.

That would be the issue in Safari. I assume it is something similar in FireFox?

If you're on a Mac, then Firefox uses the same configuration that Safari does, inheriting the OS X system preferences for controls. So yes, same issue.
