Tab key not indenting in the studio function bar when editing a canvas app - pressing tab moves to other controls

Hi,

This is a bit of an unusual issue, my tab key is not indenting when writing code in the function bar in studio, pressing tab moves focus from the function bar to other controls. This is only happening in one app, other apps the tab key works as expected.
I tried Chrome and Edge, potential key combination fixes found online, but nothing has worked so far. The tab key indents work as expected when editing code in other canvas apps.

 

Update: I believe the cause is Modern Controls. A colleague activated modern controls in settings and added a tab list control to his app, after which the tab button ceased to function as normal.

    The issue has been fixed and the ‘Tab’ key now triggers indentation in the formula bar. My authoring version is 3.24015.12.

    Thanks!
    Indeed it can be linked to the TabList control in my case too - I hadn't thought of it.

    I submitted a support ticket and they where able to pin point the cause to the modern TabList control and it seems to be screen dependent. If I have a TabList on screen I cannot indent with the tab key on that screen. If I delete the TabList control, then indenting works.

     

    The support team are passing the information to the product team so hopefully this will be fixed quickly.

    I'm having the same issue, weirdly it works well on other browsers other than edge.
