Don't mess with tab stops!

New, better, improved. Yeah, right. It seems it always is the same. Your user experience gets worse.

Say, this little thing here. You may know this is as "Google login" screen, which is now - after those new and exciting and great changes - they totally fucked up.


That red arrow was my addition to focus onto the primary problem. It's in Finnish, but it says, roughly, "Forgot your email address?".

And it's always next tab stop after entering your address. So I enter my address, hit tab once, then space to submit (expecting focus being on that "next" button like it should f****** be!) and then stare few seconds next completely unexpected screen trying to figure out what just happened, why I am not in password screen?

You know, this is user interface 101. "user name" next "password" next "you're in!". But no, they had to go and mess this very simple thing up by randomly adding that "you don't know what you are doing?" button there, in between.

Yeah, it isn't even there every time, just about half or one third or so of time, by my estimate so far.

Is this really the best UI you can think up these days, Google? Because I do have a few suggestions where you can shove these "improvements" ...
