This has changed a lot since the bug was reported. Tabbing to another
field is now permitted. Also, while entering data in the fields, the
fields will be red (of course, you can still ignore that and tab to
another).
Should we really still keep this bug open? As far as I can tell the
issues have been corrected. I'm marking this as Fix Released right way,
but please feel free to respond or just set it back to New if this was
premature.

Title:
NetworkManager could be clearer about IP address input validation
Status in NetworkManager:
Confirmed
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Networkmanager is not very polished in regard of configuring the
manual ipv4 settings.
it requires 2 mouse clicks to enter the needed data, after clicking
add, you enter the IP - but there is no way to enter the netmask and
then the gateway without grabing the mouse - which is a little bit
uncomftable. But the input is not really verified which both
screenshots show:
1st screenshot displays an ip/mask/gateway of 999.999.999.999 each -
admited, you just can cancel and not save/exit the dialog, but there
is no information why the dialog does allow the setting - shure, 999
seems obvious...
Please, if consider to notify the user, don't(!) get inspired by
Windows and do some pop-up, rather make a baloon or some extra space
in the dialog the points to the problem.
The second screenshot show the combo "1" "2" "3" - that is not catched
at all and allows the user to exit the dialog, as I don't know what
would happen when I exit the dialog I didn't dare to save the
changes.
Furthermore, after changing the wired settings, you have to apply them
by reconnecting to the wired network - this might be considered a
feature, but I expected that when I change a static IP that it get's
applied the moment I close the dialog
