Error description
On starting Rational Application Developer V7.5 with a new fresh workspace, automatically appears a window to specify the user/p assword of installed WebSphere Test Environments. Tabulation in this this window moves the cursor to the labels where you can't write.
Local fix
Problem summary
Some of the tabulation on the unwritable fields on that wizard are intentional for accessibility support since the screen readers will only read the fields that the user can tab to for description labels. However, some of the fields on that page does not required to be tab but it will still meet the accessibility requirement. The fields are the labels that are just before an input text field, e.g. the user id and user password field. Therefore, I am fixing only the labels that are just before the input text fields to avoid tabbing while leaving the others, e.g. the description on the page and the line that specifies the server version name, as is to allow tabbing to it for accessibility requirement.
Problem conclusion
Only the fields that are just before a input text field will have the tabulation removed. The description lines will remain as is for accessibility purpose as designed. Fix delivered in Rational Application Developer V7.5.2
