Description (last modified by )
Not sure if there's anything we can do about this, but on test_Menu.html and test_Toolbar.html, shift-tab isn't going backwards through the tab stops. Tab correctly goes forwards through the tab stops.
It leads to failures in the Menu automated test.
I sent a bug report to apple although it didn't give a tracking number, so there's no way to know if they are working on it or if there's a workaround.

Also causing [some of] the failures on Spinner_a11y.html and Slider_a11y.html, the a11yTabFocus tests.

This seems to be related to _keyNavContainer.js as the only places where I see this as a problem is with toolbar and menu which are the only two widgets that use this. Not sure if it is related to removing /adding the tabindex on the container or not.

HTML file that demonstrates the problem

This seems to be related to removing and resetting the tabindex programmatically. I have attached a non-dojo HTML file that demonstrates the problem.

[18626] partially fixes the problem. Now, on the first toolbar, if you arrow over to any button and press shift-tab, you go to the previous button IF there is no other focusable item before the toolbar. If you add an anchor tag before the first toolbar on the page, pressing shift-tab with focus on an inner button of the toolbar will take you to the anchor tag (as it should). Thus, I believe this is still a Safari 4 problem. I don't know if we will be able to work around this new behavior or not. Note that you have to have the advanced preference "press tab to highlight each item on a web page" set in order to be able to tab to anchor elements.

Cool, this is working on the latest safari (4.0.3) and chrome (version 3) now, just due to bug fixes in the browser code.
Does it happen on Chrome2, also? If so, probably best to file the bug at bugs.webkit.org, or check with Alex.
