This issue appears to be caused either by the way dividers are arranged in the extension or how vscode handles elements in windows. This may be fixed by changing the way elements are arranged in vscode-mssql (need to know how vscode determines what element to tab next, or maybe this might just be default vscode behavior)

Closing as this is standard vscode behavior with webview based windows. This is demonstrated as when you open an IPYNB notebook in vscode, the same tab behavior is seen there as well.
