Another weird thing is once I stop recording and the application is still open, then the application no longer accepts tab inputs either. If I open the application without testcomplete then tabs work fine but somehow launching from testcomplete is stopping the tabbing functionality even after testcomplete has closed.
Well...
1) Are you doing script code or keyword tests?
2) Are you using the "Keys" method in your tests?
3) What OS are you using?
4) What component class is it?
5) How is the object mapped?
This is, basically, what we need to know before we can even start to troubleshoot. Generally speaking, the "tab" method works very well for many people so it has to be something unique to your environment/application/implementation.
