Hello Sallybennett1, thanks for posting on the Community page, the cursor defaults doesn't go to a certain field unless if you are using a shortcut key possibly? 

Thanks Paul, that is exactly it.  I'm glad I'm not the only person finding this a complete pain in the a..s!

Thanks Ashleigh.  I don't use shortcut keys.  This is something that has recently changed.  I have received another reply that confirms many people are unhappy about the same thing and have reported the problem.
