Kleopatra: Tab navigation in smartcard table is broken
Testing, NormalPublic

Description

In T6568#208755, @timegrid wrote:

Tab navigation in the Smartcard Dialog is broken: If the focus is once in the table, (Shift+)Tab will navigate the table items (up/down) instead of next/previous elements

I can reproduce that Shift+Tab gets stuck at the first table row.

Fixed and backported for VSD 3.4

Note that the action buttons in the table no longer receive keyboard focus with Tab. One has to use the arrow keys to navigate to them. I think this is an improvement because I experienced the previous behavior as tedious where one had to tab over all action buttons to leave the table.
