This is a known bug, but needs a little more work and I keep
postponing it, because of more important things.

You can track the progress here: http://trac.glotpress.org/ticket/83

Yes

I modeled the tab stops after my behaviour—I rarely use Copy from
original and Google Translate. When I need them, it's ok for me to
grab the mouse and click on the link.

If most of you use these two links often, just tell me, we can put
them back in the tab order.

There is a ticket for that: http://trac.glotpress.org/ticket/30

I, myself, rarely approve strings and didn't have much urge to
implement it. You can blame Zé for not  bugging me enough :-)

Yes, this is very annoying and this will be the first thing I will fix.

Thank you very much for giving GlotPress a chance.

Happy translating,
Nikolay.
