Just two guesses from my Magic Crystal Ball, as You provide no info (Version etc etc):

maybe You have a KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger with some PL/SQL code inside doing anything
*but* going to the Next Item ? If You write code for a trigger, You overwrite default behaviors.

or You may have a checking trigger like WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM on that item for Your own validations
and the values typed in do not meet the criteria, e.g. (pseudo code)

WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM:
IF :block.item NOT IN (1,4,5)
THEN
   keep user in that item to get wanted data from him;    message would be helpful;
ELSE
   NEXT_ITEM;
END IF;
...

It could also be some property settings, invoke palette by F4. In fact, it could be anything :(, so:
for more help more specific info is needed.
