Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble "tabbing" to the item number? It used to be "first name, last name, tab, tab, tab" and I was in the item number column. Now it skips down to shipping! It is a hassle to have to move my mouse to the item number column. I have been using PP for 8 years and I have a rhythm!! :)

It just started this season with the update. Anyone else having that problem or know how to fix it?
 
I don't tab! I press enter! First name, tab, last name, enter, item number, enter, quantity, enter, item number, enter, quantity...... Hope this helps!!
 
Me too, I hit enter. Tab takes me to the shipping etc. buttons.
 
I started ragging about this months ago. This is completely counter intuitive to every other piece of software I have ever used. Return instead of tab? What programming genius came up with that idea?Of course, when I complained up here about it, I got told in a rather snooty way that I was incorrect. It's nice to see I'm not the only one.
 
I'm a tabber also. LOL
 
I've heard that about you , Brooke!
 
She said, "Tabber," not "Blabber!"
 
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Thanks for clearing that up KG! Like I'm one to call the kettle black....
 
I still Tab. I've never had a problem with it. Maybe it depends on the kind of computer you have.

If you ever decide to give up being a cheffer you should really consider becoming a comedian.
 
I've been working on "forgetting" all of my computer knowledge when doing anything on PP or the personal website so that I'm less frustrated with the fact that basic "windows user" functionality does not exist that way.

Thanks, but I'm not quick enough. Comedy writer, perhaps, but I'm afraid I'm not a stand up philosopher. (Obscure reference: Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part 1)
