[TC 11.51] Multi-Rename Tool: Button with question mark misplaced in tab order

Open Mulit-Rename Tool.
Press Tab repeatedly and look when the button with the question mark (help button) gets focus.
The button is focused after the "F2 Load/save settings" combobox.
Expected: the button is focused before the button below it.

Confirmed
Btw. I would never detect this, because I don't rely on any tab order on such a screen.

It's strange that it's the same in both 32-bit and 64-bit, maybe I did it for some unknown reason back then. Changing it now could break some scripts, so maybe it's better to leave it as it is. You don't really need to reach the ? button, just press F1 for help as usual.

Don't you have the ability to fix class instance numbers tightly?

The context menu button was first added in Total Commander 7.0a1 (alpha test version 1):
22.02.06 Added: Multi-rename tool: New button >> to open context menu: Allows to load names from file, and to edit names in the default editor
The help button was added almost a year later in January 2007 in Total Commander 7.0 private beta 3.5. (Total Commander 7.0 public beta 3 doesn't have the help button.)
So perhaps there was no reason.

Its probably for the reason that it just calls the help and is the least used button as that.
