          Description

          Tab through, press enter on a 'Skip block' link (at present a small white rectangle with dotted outline) and the browser seems to go to the next block/course content. However, tab again and you're still at the same link - you haven't skipped at all.

          The fix will be in, theme/standard/styles_layout.css - code modified to,

          .skip-block-to {
          display: block;
          height: 1px;
          }

                Fixed for HEAD and branches back to 1.6, tagged MERGED (Skip block links were introduced in Moodle 1.6).

                Original report on Win/IE 6 - they were also broken in Internet Explorer 7, but the fix works for IE7 too.

                (Win/Firefox 2 worked and works fine; Opera 9 - can't tab to links without TABINDEX anyway, grrrh!)
