Bug description
When using the keyboard to navigate in Properties, the cursor keys are the usual controls to navigate with a group, but this doesn't work on spinboxes, because the cursor instead navigates the text within (left/right) or changes the value (up/down). Tab does not work either.
Steps to reproduce
- select a note in a score
- open Properties panel
- open the Appearance tab
- click in the Leading spinbox
- attempt to navigate by keyboard to the next spinbox (Measure width)
Result: neither Right, Down, nor Tab get you there. Only Esc or Enter followed by Right do.
