PK75161: Incorrect tabulation in WebSphere authentication dialog

Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.5.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On starting Rational Application Developer V7.5 with a new fresh
  workspace, automatically appears a window to specify the user/p
  assword of installed WebSphere Test Environments. Tabulation in
  this this window moves the cursor to the labels where you can't
  write.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Some of the tabulation on the unwritable fields on that
  wizard are intentional for accessibility support since the
  screen readers will only read the fields that the user can
  tab to for description labels. However, some of the fields
  on that page does not required to be tab but it will still
  meet the accessibility requirement.  The fields are the
  labels that are just before an input text field, e.g. the
  user id and user password field.
  
  Therefore, I am fixing only the labels that are just before
  the input text fields to avoid tabbing while leaving the
  others, e.g. the description on the page and the line that
  specifies the server version name, as is to allow tabbing to
  it for accessibility requirement.
  

Problem conclusion

• Only the fields that are just before a input text field will
  have the tabulation removed.  The description lines will
  remain as is for accessibility purpose as designed.
