Tab order when manually editing the book data?

shauntih · 02-18-2025, 06:31 PM

I frequently change the order of my columns depending on what I'm doing in Calibre, by dragging them around the grid. When I go to EDIT that data (such as when I've added a new book, but want to put the series in the series column rather than as part of the title), the TAB key does not follow the order of the columns, from left to right. I've looked all over the place and the closest I've found is Pref - Look & Feel, Book Details - Select displayed metadata. I've played with that but it isn't making a difference. I don't remember having this issue in the past. Is this a bug, or am I missing something somewhere?

Thank you in advance for any help!

It's a known V7.26 bug ==>> V7.26 Editing in the Book List

Reinstall V.7.25 or the most recent pre-release ==>> calibre friday preview releases

Thanks! I swear I looked in issues but did not see it in the issue list, or anywhere else.
