Tab on return (i.e., autoTab) only happens when you are on the last line 
of the field. So in a 3-line field, a return key will only tab to the 
next field if the cursor is on line 3, otherwise it inserts a carriage 
return. Scrolling fields have no "last" line, they are infinite, so 
autoTab never triggers on those.
