I'm not sure if this is the same issue as was posted by scderacjor here: http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=21407

But I'm finding since I upgraded from 8.0 to 8.2, if I reset the tab order to what I want. Then make some scripting changes here and there - but don't touch the formatting, it resets the tab order to (apparently) whatever it feels like. I haven't found a consistent pattern yet to the order it's resetting to.

This is very frustrating, because it happens constantly and seems to be very unstable.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong, or omitting to do something?

It's generally better to define the tab order as the very last step of the form design process.

Hi Radzmar, the only problem with that is that I need to be able to test as I go. It's exasperating to set it all up, only to have it revert to something else almost immediately as soon as I give it another test run.

Plus even if I do leave it til last, the minute I go back in to make an update or change, it goes out of whack again. It's still looking to me as though it's a bug. I can't believe it should be so volatile when I'm not doing anything to change it (or if I am, I'm completely unaware of what).

I'm with Radzmar - I don't do any work on tab order until the very end.

You don't really need to test it as you go - I've started considering tab order to be separate from the rest of the design process.
