Priority:  minor    |   Component:  finch (gnt/ncurses)

 SUMMARY

 When attempting to add a buddy, I am not able to access the "Account"
 field.  I can use the tab key to navigate to the "Add in group"
 field/combo box.  However, once I'm there, the Tab key only goes through
 the list of available groups; when arriving at the last group, the Tab key
 no longer does anyway.

 REPRODUCE

 1.  navigate to the Buddy List
 2.  press ctrl+o
 3.  select "Add"
 4.  select "Buddy"
 5.  attempt to access the "Account" field by pressing tab multiple times

 BEHAVIOR

 Cursor stops at the last group in the "Add in group" field

 EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

 I would say that the Tab key shouldn't even go through the individual
 groups.  It seems like the down arrow would be better fit for this (just
 like a GUI combo box).  The tab key should go to each field on the "Add
 Buddy" screen.

 WORKAROUND

 use shift+tab to bypass the "Add in group" field.
