What is interfering with TabIndex order on my dialog form?

I'm using VS2013 on a VB.NET 4.0 Winforms project with Telerik controls (though none are in this dialog). I have a simple dialog with three static labels, two text boxes and the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons. I've changed the TabIndex values so that tab should flow like: tbUserName(0) -> tbPW(1) -> OK_Button(2) -> Cancel_Button(3).

In reality, the flow goes like: tbUserName(0) -> OK_Button(2) -> Cancel_Button(3) -> tbPW(1).

I initially set the TabIndexes through the Properties window. Then I used the View > Tab Order tool to set them. The Properties window shows the TapIndex as I've set them but the Tab Order tool shows the two buttons that came with the form as 0.1 and 0.2. (Which I don't understand because it's an Int32 and won't let me set TabIndex to decimal values.) I have also attempted to set the TabIndex from my code, but the behavior regarding those buttons doesn't change. It seems that they really want to go first.

I'm sure that I'm missing something simple, but my searches aren't finding it.

Do you have any kind of group in your form ? If you design a group and then paste two textboxes, you'll get a decimal value on two texboxes TabIndex (e.g. 1.1 and 1.2)
