This _may_ be a bug, but I’m gonna post it here here first in case it’s just a change that I missed. In the past, when I composed a post, I’d hit tab to jump to the creation button and hit enter to post. However, I’m noticing that if I [include a link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) _(included here for testing purposes, no need to click)_ in the composer, tabbing jumps over to the preview window and whatever link that is.

I don’t _think_ it’s done this before. I do it so much it’s muscle memory at this point, but I make a LOT of posts with links in them, I’d have noticed before now. Is this intended?

Ah I think tabbing should possibly ignore the preview entirely, tabbing over there might be confusing for accessibility reasons as well… thanks for reporting it.

Quick FYI that this change was reverted until I can solve the preview issue, so if you update your site you’ll be back to correct tabbing.
