autotab broken?

Hi Malte,

Autotab works fine here. If the text instertion point is on the first  
line of a field while the height of the field equals a multiple of  
the line height, a return will be inserted when you press the return  
key. If the text insertion point is on the last line, return will  
bring you to the next field. If the entire text of a field is  
selected, return will also bring you to the next field.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
