autoTab affects automatic text selection?

[Pete]

Yes, there's no clue in the docs about using autoTab for this purpose.  I
guess the question then becomes - is this the way it is supposed to work or
is it a bug that will be fixed at some point?  I would like to use this
feature/bug but not if I have to go back and change a bunch of fields at
some point in the future when it changes!
