Run SQL Scripts Tab Key no longer works

Downloaded the new IBM i Access Client Solutions Version 1.1.7.1 Build 7290 July 17, 2017 64-bit.
(Excellent enhancements!)
However I noticed the tab key no longer works in Run SQL Scripts. Pressing the tab key results in my cursor disappearing. The tab key is critical in properly formatting my SQL statements.
Please allow the tab button to indent as it did before.
In addition, it would be nice to have a preference for number of spaces to indent. Perhaps share that preference with the SQL formatter for consistency.


Use Case:

Press the tab button to indent the sql statement

    This request should probably be a bug fix.
    Periodically my tab button stops working as expected.
    Instead of indenting in it will move the cursor out of the Run SQL Scripts application.
    I have been unable to determine the circumstances that cause this to happen.

    In the future, please open a PMR and work with our Service team to report defects. Declining this RFE since the reported issue no longer occurs.

    I think we can remove this request. I can not duplicate it.

    After entering this request I tried changing the setting for "highlight next statement after run selected" and the tab key started working.
    Today I tried changing the setting back to see if the behavior reverted back to the tab key not working and it did not. That is, I can not get the tab key to stop working like it did yesterday.
    Perhaps another program like RDi hijacked my tab key?
    At this point if nobody else experiences this problem I would say drop it.

    What triggers the issue? I have the same build installed and see no change in the cursor behavior while editing SQL scripts with the tab key.
