I realize that if it is the last highlighted call that you want it will
work. The problem is that it is not always that call which you wish to use.
If the automatic highlighting is working then you are fine, but it
does not always work and then you have to select it with drag. When you
use the mouse button to enter the call the cursor moves to the next field,
at least it does on mine. That is what should not happen.
OTOH I guess it is not a really big deal since most of the time the
highlight is what you want, and for SSB you have to enter it manually and
then it does not leave the field. The AUTOTAB is not useful except on a
fixed length field that requires entry of EVERY character.
