Opi Lovers
Consider the dialog below, populated as shown
Cursor is on the pulldown menu showing “SharePoint”
Now I hit tab. The cursor moves correctly to the “Suffix” text box
But the Tab key also has the effect of changing the last pulldown assignment from “SharePoint” to “Teams”
It only does this with this entry.
No others.
Any ideas?
You can see this if you feel inclined at about t=9s in the video
It's probably a bug in the dialog code. Can we see it?
Sure. Thanks for your interest
Ugly code but it works wonders for me

It doesn't do it here, fwiw.
Hmm. Odd
Thanks I will check on my home setup
Thanks….
FWIW, I have the same behavior as Jon.
If it can help you understand/find the issue, here are the generated log/output from my execution:

You're checking which control the messages relate to, but not which event they're telling you happened. Controls generate messages for more events than just their selections changing. For example, there are events telling you when you push tab and move focus off one control and on to another.
I wrote a wrapper for handling UI dialogs in an event driven manner. Have a look at my MsgLoopHandler. That might help to prevent errors from handling the events yourself.
Thank you all for responses
I will cogitate….
