If a group's tabGroupBehavior is true, you cannot press the arrow keys to
move around in any of the fields in the group, regardless of the setting of
the textArrows property. Pressing an arrow key moves from control to
control instead.

Since you mention the field is grouped, I suspect this is the problem.
