[SOLVED] Tab order skips

My tab key is not functioning correctly?  

I have attached a picture (TabOrderReOrdered.jpg) of the View->Tab
Order list ordered by "Sort tab orders of all child controls of
"Form1" by their positions?."  I interpret this to be the proper flow
order of the tabs.  But it isn't working...  

I also attached a picture (TabOrder.jpg) of the way the screen is
reacting when I press the Tab key.  The green numbers identify the
current incorrect flow; the blue numbers show the desired flow of the
tab stops.

As suggested in other posts, I have checked the properties of each
Edit Control tab to ensure the TabOrder is correct; the TabStop is
True; and the Visible is True.

Where else should I look?

Thanks!

Maybe ReadOnly property of some TEdit is True? BTW, you are on
WIndows?

attach the form with no code so we can test it.

Thanks for your responses!!

When Blaazen said to check the ReadOnly property, I realized I hadn't
mentioned it in the previous post.  So I re-checked them...

And then I decided to once again go through the other Tab properties. 
Eureka!!  I noticed that the Shipping Address field was assigned #19
(see OI ShAddr TabOrder.jpg) although the TabOrderofForm1.jpg and
TabOrderReOrdered.jpg both have it set at #15.  Did somebody say BUG?

Whew!  Glad I saw it. 

@lainz - I can still provide the exe if you want it.

@Blaazen - Check out my signature.  It says I am running WIN8.1
64bit.   

Thank you, gentlemen, for your time and efforts on my behalf!!

Yes sometimes happens that you think it's everything ok so discard the
most obvious error   And just that is the error.

Don't worry.

Of course, it's always the last place you look!

I just figured the View->Tab Order list would be taken, and updated,
from the TabOrder properties of the different fields.

Thanks for the info!
