SYMPTOMS
The focus of your application is on the Code editor, and then you open the Microsoft Upgrade Visual Basic 6 Code tool. When you try to shift the focus from the Code tab to the References tab in the Upgrade Visual Basic 6 Code dialog box by pressing the TAB key, the focus does not shift, and a tab mark is inserted in the Code tab.



RESOLUTION
To avoid this behavior, press the CTRL+ALT+TAB key combination to shift the focus from the Code window to the References tab.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to reproduce the behavior

 * 1) In Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, start a new Microsoft Windows application by using Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 or Microsoft Visual Basic .NET.

By default, Form1 is created.
 * 1) On the View menu, click Code.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Upgrade Visual Basic 6 Code.
 * 3) In the Upgrade Visual Basic 6 Code dialog box, press the TAB key to move the focus to the References tab.

The focus does not move, and the tab mark is inserted in the code.

Note You can click a window to shift the focus.
