When viewing Calibre's main screen of the list of books in my library, if I have an book selected, when pressing the TAB button the highlighted field will advance to the next field.
i.e. Title -TAB- Series -TAB- Tags -TAB- Publisher, etc. until it reaches the end and the next book is selected.

Good.

But recently I noticed if I am Editing a field, when I press TAB instead of moving to the next field, it backs up to the previous field.

For example:
I am editing the title: "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: A Magical Fantasy Adventure"
My preference is to have "Magical Fantasy Adventure" as Tags and "Lord of the Rings" as the series

So I will edit the title and cut ": A Magical Fantasy Adventure" and TAB to the Tags Field and paste it there (editing it and adding commas) "Magical, Fantasy, Adventure"
Then TAB back to the Title and cut "Lord of the Rings: " and TAB to the series field and past it there (with edits) "Lord of the Rings" and add series number if needed.
Leaving "The Two Towers" as the title.

The problem is lately I noticed that when I am editing the title and I TAB the selected field does not advance to the right, it moves to the left, pressing Shift-TAB does move to the right. (TAB and Shift-TAB are reversed)

Also it is not consistent, if I am editing Series, and TAB it jumps 2 fields to the right to Publisher.

Maybe fields have an order now?
So that TAB advance by the field order instead of what is shown visually on the book list

I tried doing a search and looking through the tweaks but cant spot anything to adjust to restore how the TAB when editing fields reacts.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: When reviewing the forum I spotted someone else posting the same problem.
It's a BUG - - It's a known V7.26 bug ==>> V7.26 Editing in the Book List
