Bug (?): Tabbing from discussion box goes to logo instead of posting options

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the DU4 Bug Reports forum).

I am using Skinner Mode. I normally hit tab 3 times after writing a post and then hit the spacebar to submit a post. When I click Tab on DU4 it goes to the logo on the top left. If I hit tab 3 times it takes me to the ">>Start a new discussion" link on the top bar.

In my opinion, tab should go to posting/spell check options. I am also not crazy with having a preview option without a Post option visible. Most times I don't want to preview. Sometimes internet connections are bad, so forcing a preview makes it more likely a post is lost/forgotten.

FWIW, most people aren't so keen on the forced preview situation so we'll get rid of that during the next pause in testing.

As for the tab situation, I don't tab out of the box like that, so I hadn't noticed the issue before. Now you've mentioned it, I see the problem. I'll look into this, it should be pretty easy to fix.
