Hitting tab in the Properties window jumps to the next Form Field item, not the next entry??!!?

I'm building a form and I need to customize the Name and Tooltips under Properties/General. I'll enter the Name on the first Field, copy/paste this, hit the tab key to jump to the Tooltips field but instead Acrobat jumps to the Tooltips in the next Field created in the list (Signature). Even if I click in the Tooltip field, it jumps to the next one. If I'm on any other tab in Properties - Appearance, Position, Options, etc - the Tab key works and jumps to the next entry inside that as it should. This is extremely frustrating to create forms with.

Also, how did Command + ~ to jump to another open Acrobat document get turned off?? Screen Shot 2022-07-11 at 12.01.20 PM.png

Is this happening with only the document that you're working with or with every PDF that you build from scratch?

 

Also, which operating system are you on and which version of Acrobat?

 

And If you right click on any part of the open document and select "Document Properties". See under the "Description" tab the section labeled: Advanced -->>> "PDF Producer". What was the source document used to produced that PDF?

As to how to switch between opened document it doesn't use the CTRL + keyboard combo.

 

You should use ALT+SHIFT+W which is the keyboard shortcut to open the "Window"  menu on the main toolbar. 

 

Once the context menu opens up the opened documents are listed by numerical order 1, 2 ,3 etc with the file name corresponding to that tabbed document.

 

Just hit the desired number on your keypad that corresponds to the document you want to switch to.

 

NOTE: This works in both cases wether the documents are grouped in tabs side by side inside of the main working window or opened on separate windows.

So a common keycommand that's in Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign is not applicable to the same Adobe program? That makes it sound like Acrobat isn't even part of the Adobe family. And even to call the keycommands "single key accelerators" instead of "keyboard shortcuts"? That's poor programming & design IMO.

Every PDF.

Latest & "greatest" version, automatically updates on me. (Mac OS)

Originated from InDesign with table sections for form sections to be filled out. They're legal agreements, lots of verbaige, easier to create in InDesign and export to Acrobat.

I've done a screen recording and attached it. This time I made a document only in Acrobat and built a form in there. When you hit the tab key to go from Name's Text 5 [which I changed to First Name] to Tooltip, it still jumps to the Tooltip on the next Form Field (Text 6), not within the same one. (Apologies for the typing errors, I need another cup of coffee!) I'll try to attach this to the bug report I made too so sorry for the repeat.
