Hi,

Where does focus go if you simply navigate to the username field but do not activate it and then do swipe right? That is you simply navigate in sequence through the application? Is it the case that actually entering data causes this behavior or does it happen all the time? If you are on the password field and swipe left, does focus return to the username field?

In my experience, it has generally been the case that these sorts of problems happen independent of data entry and are due to focus order not being correct in general. Is this a web experience and can you share a sample?
