Are you inactive for a while before trying the TAB?
Perhaps its an SSH timeout you could try ServerAliveInterval 120 in your client ~/.ssh/config to send a NULL packet every 120 seconds to avoid timeout disconnects.

SSH-ASKPASS-FULLSCREEN(1) General Commands Manual SSH-ASKPASS-FULLSCREEN(1)
NAME
ssh-askpass-fullscreen - A simple replacement for ssh-askpass written with gtk2
SYNOPSIS
ssh-askpass-fullscreen
DESCRIPTION
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
gnome-ssh-askpass is a GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not
invoked directly. It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display
is available). This happens auto-matically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro-
grams, for example.
In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, ssh-askpass-fullscreen should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass
ssh-askpass-fullscreen is a program that...
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables are recognized:
GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.
GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer will be grabbed too.
These may have some benefit to security if you don't trust your X server. Keyboard is always grabbed.
SEE ALSO
ssh-add(1), ssh-askpass(1).
