qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent: 4.4.3.1
OS: uname -a: Linux fab-manjaro 5.10.129-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 7 16:56:51 UTC 2022 x86_64 GNU/Linux
QT: 6.3.0
libtorrent-rasterbar: 1:2.0.6-2

What is the problem?

Various dialogue boxes have a discrepancy between their on-screen "natural order" and "Tab order".

Steps to reproduce

Open the torrent options of any file
Click the "Category" field
Press Tab( key on keyboard)
Focus will change to the download input field
Press Tab
Focus will now change to the upload input field. 🤪

Additional context

This is happening all over and probably because the resource file order is not in-line with the screen order. If you need help with that, I can edit these for you and send a patch file if you point me in the right direction where they can be found... 😇

I just tried adding tabstops in the .ui file but now "Browse..." buttons from FileSystemPathComboEdit are not focusable with tab. Interestingly they are focusable with shift+tab (backwards tab order)

Actually "Browse..." is not focusable by tab in master either because of this github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent@2c8447853b (diff-3c21066718)

Also, current tab order is "Browse..." and then the line edit. No idea how to change that.

Could you provide some context as to which UI file in which directory you're talking about and I'll clone the source locally and see if I can find anything... (I used to be a programmer but have never contributed to an OS project except translations...)

src/gui/torrentoptionsdialog.ui you open it with Qt Designer and go to Edit->Edit Tab Order

This ticket has been closed.

Closure Reason: being "out-of-date", and thus either most likely resolved in recent versions or no longer applicable.

If you experience the reported problem or similar in the latest version, please open a new issue report with the requested information in the issue template.
Due to the changes made to the qBittorrent code and its dependencies over time, the exact cause of your problem could be totally different than the original one, despite the visible symptoms of the bug being similar.
Thus, providing relevant updated information is crucial to find and fix the root cause of a recurrent problem or regression.
A new issue report with relevant updated data gathered from the latest version is preferable to necroing an old report with a comment like "still happens in version x.y.z", even if you think the bug is the same, or suspect of a regression.
Thank you for your contribution(s).
