Pressing TAB key does not navigate between input controls
How to reproduce:
1. Create a new project
2. Create two InputFields in Hierarchy
3. Click Inspector -> Input Field -> Visualize button
4. Play the scene
5. Click on an input field, type some text so you can tell keyboard input is working
5. Press TAB key
6. Nothing happens
After typing some text if you press enter and type again, text will appear in the same inputfield, but if after pressing enter you wait some time focus goes to next inputfield and text is seen there.

Bummer that we still don't have this at version 5.6. Tabbing is just expected between text fields.

Similar problem here. My version is 5.3.5f1.
I was trying to implement a function when the Tab button was pressed. However, the function only responds for the first time. After the player presses Tab once, all hotkeys in the game being unresponsive. The only way to bring back hotkeys' functions is to use the cursor click in the game. It happens for GetKey, GetKeyDown and GetButtonDown.
The problem only occurs under editor mode and development builds. It disappears in release builds (none-development builds).
I've also checked EditorWindow.focusedWindow and EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject. They are all correct when the problem occurs.
