Lookup fields need to be clicked on
I have noticed that when entering data into a lookup/reference field, the user has to click on the suggestion which pops up under the field. Here is a quote from one of our users:
"Also when entering in information you must always clicking on things and if you do not and try to tab or hit enter so it will move to the next field..it automatically again defaults to blank and thus you have to go back and reenter the information. There should be ‘ease’ when moving from field to field. This inability again is wasting time.".
Just wondering if there is an easy way around this behavior, and/or is this something that will eventually be changed to include "Tabbing" ability without having to click the dropdown.
Thanks

Possibly the "lostfocus" even could be captured to check if the text value is valid and if so, leave it as it rather than reverting?
Some improvement in this area would be a significant difference maker for us!
In a few places where there aren't too many items, they have requested picklists instead.
Not to be condescending to the users, but to point out they have bigger fish to fry, I showed the users who did complain how to override the URL to get back to the old native Salesforce interface, which helped put things into perspective and quell the discussion altogether (at least thus far).
