RAP Tab Sequence doesn't wrap [message #1694549]

In SWT, if you press TAB (or SHIFT+TAB) to move between controls, it will cycle from end to start (or start to end with SHIFT).
In RAP, once you reach the end of the tab sequence, it will stop, so it doesn't cycle back to the first item in the tab sequence.
Is this deliberate, a bug in RAP, or is there a way to control whether it cycles or not?

Thanks, John

Hi John,
probably this is a missing implementation on the client-side. Please
file a bugzilla and we will look on it.
Thanks,
Ivan

I've added a note to the bug, but thought I'd also add it here for completeness... it appears that the cycling works OK for Shells that do NOT have Menu Bars present. As soon as a Menu Bar is included, cycling stops working.
